During the final two years of high school, students grow academically, socially and emotionally, developing skills for making conscious decisions and independent choices.<\/p>\n

In Grades 11 and 12 they face the academic challenge of choosing their profile and a personal combination of subjects in order to go on to study successfully at the most prestigious universities in the world.<\/p>\n

As they develop in their area of interest they acquire deep and broad knowledge, apply their skills in independent learning, organisation and critical thinking, and develop not only respect but also understanding of different cultures and communities.<\/p>\n

Since 2015 Uwekind has been an authorised IB Diploma Programme school, and since 2025 it is also a candidate school for the Career-related Programme for students in Grades 11 and 12.<\/p>\n
