What is Academic Baccalaureate ?

Academic Baccalaureate is a comprehensive educational initiative designed to meet the needs of students. It is developed by local and international experts to enhance students’ overall academic performance and equip them to succeed in the future by integrating the 21st century skills into the academic program. It was launched in 2010 after many years of planning and preparation. Its first phase included workshops to introduce the theoretical part and to train teachers to design high order thinking skills items. In 2014, the in-class implementation started (Phase 2). This phase included workshops to train the teachers on Academic Baccalaureate deliverables prepared by the Academic Baccalaureate team of experts. It currently covers grades 10 to 12 (and eventually K-12). After graduation in Grade 12, the students receive the Academic Baccalaureate diploma. In 2017, the Academic Baccalaureate Diploma received the equivalence to the British GCE A Level by UK ENIC, the National Agency for the Recognition and Comparison of International Qualifications and Skills.
