The Senior School Scholarship 2023 at The International School of Penang (Uplands)

Uplands is pleased to offer a multi-certification pathway in Year 12 and 13 that provides flexible and personalised pathways for all learners to find success as part of the High School.

Students may select to follow the full International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and graduate with an IB Diploma alongside a High School Diploma or they may take some IBDP courses complemented with High School courses and/or self-guided electives. Whatever pathway and courses students choose, they learn together in inclusive classrooms. For more information on our pathways, you can visit the High School Curriculum website.

The IB Diploma Programme (DP)

The IB Diploma Programme (DP) is a rigorous, academically challenging, and balanced programme of education designed to prepare students aged 16 to 19 for success at university and life beyond. The curriculum is made up of the DP core and six subject groups: studies in language and literature; language acquisition; individuals and societies; sciences; mathematics; and arts. In addition to the six subjects, the DP core aims to broaden students’ educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills through Theory of Knowledge, in which students reflect on the nature of knowledge and on how we know what we claim to know; The Extended Essay, which is an independent, self-directed piece of research, finishing with a 4,000-word paper; and Creativity, Activity, Service, in which students complete experiences and projects related to those three strands.
