ACE Pre-Diploma Programme (PDP)

The ACE Pre-Diploma Programme (PDP) is a two year preparatory program for the anticipated IB Diploma Programme, which was fully implemented at the start of the 2007-2008 school year.  Any student interested in pursuing an IB Diploma is highly encouraged to participate in the advanced ACE curriculum.  It is the best way a student can prepare for the rigor of the IB programme.
