LAS Academy High School in Sopot offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP), one of the most prestigious educational programs in the world. The program was created for students who want to develop academically, acquire future skills, and prepare for studies in Poland and abroad.

The IB Diploma Programme is recognised by universities worldwide, including those in Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and many other countries. The programme develops not only subject knowledge but also independence, critical thinking, research skills, communication, and social responsibility.

The International Baccalaureate programme is implemented in the 3rd and 4th grades of high school.

In practice, this means that:

the 3rd grade of high school corresponds to the first year of the IB Diploma Programme (IB1),

the 4th grade of high school corresponds to the second year of the IB Diploma Programme (IB2).

Thanks to this organisation, students can begin their education at LAS Academy High School in Sopot not only after primary school but also after completing the 2nd grade of another high school and join the IB programme at the 3rd-grade stage.

This solution provides the opportunity for a conscious choice of educational path at a time when the student better understands their interests, study plans, and career goals.

• wish to study in Poland or abroad,
• are curious about the world and open to new challenges,
• enjoy asking questions and independently seeking answers,
• want to develop skills valued by top universities and employers,
• are ready to develop not only academically but also socially and personally.
The programme is not exclusively for “the best students”. The most important qualities are commitment, systematic effort, and a readiness for development.

Unlike many traditional educational systems, the IB programme does not focus solely on memorising information.
Students learn:
• critical thinking,
• conducting research,
• analysing sources,
• project work,
• public speaking,
• teamwork,
• independent management of their own learning.
These are competencies that stay with students long after graduation.

• language and literature,
• foreign language,
• social sciences,
• natural sciences,
• mathematics,
• arts or an additional subject from another group.
Some subjects are taken at Standard Level (SL) and some at Higher Level (HL), which allows students to develop their strengths and prepare for chosen fields of study.

• Theory of Knowledge (TOK) – A subject that develops critical thinking and reflection on what knowledge is and how we acquire it.
• Extended Essay (EE) – An independent research project culminating in an academic paper.
• Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) – A program that supports the development of creativity, physical activity, and social engagement.
It is the DP Core that makes the IB program recognized as one of the most comprehensive educational paths in the world.

Students of the IB programme develop competencies particularly valued during university admissions:
• research skills,
• academic writing,
• independence,
• communication in English,
• data and information analysis,
• critical thinking.
Thanks to this, programme graduates are very well prepared for further academic education.

…is implemented in an environment based on mentoring and an individual approach to each student. Teachers and mentors support students not only in their studies but also in organising their work, choosing subjects, planning their educational future, and preparing for university.
Our goal is to develop not only academic results but, above all, the potential of each student.
