University Destinations
IB programmes are designed to provide not only a qualification, but also the mindset and skills for lifelong learning. At ISL IB Diploma College, we support students in making informed choices about future pathways in education and beyond.
In addition to group orientation during tutor time, each student meets with a Higher Education guidance counsellor regularly throughout the two years, learning how to research options, put together their applications and then apply. This process is informed by assessment data gathered each semester from assignments and from internal ‘mock’ examinations that provide an authentic picture of the student’s likely final attainment.
Our Alumni Community is an invaluable asset in this process, and students are offered individual mentoring with ISL alumni who are already at university or even working in the student’s dream career.
We are proud of our outcomes, where each year close to 100% of our students gain admission to their first choice university, whether in the UK or elsewhere. Graduating with an IB Diploma from ISL IB Diploma College is a passport to a global future.

Careers Guidance
As part of 3-to-1 support at the College, in choosing futures students receive advice and guidance in making well-informed choices about their future education and careers. After initial orientation about where in the world to study, and how different university systems work globally, they then meet individually with a Higher Education guidance counsellor who supports them step by step in researching, shortlisting and applying to universities worldwide.
Student Agency
The ISL IB Diploma College 3-to-1 support model has the student as its centre. This indicates not only that student support is personalised, but also that the student is the decision-maker. We build into our programme the expectation that students are equipped to make well-informed, balanced decisions about their learning, their personal development and their futures.
Alumni
Our students remain key members of the ISL community even long after they have graduated.
Through our Alumni Programme, we continue to support ISL alumni in the next phase of their journey into further education and their careers, as well as keep them connected with the school, their teachers and fellow ISL students.
