IB World School
Haganässkolan is approved by the International Baccalaurate (IB) organisation. IB World Schools have a common philosophy - a mission to improve education and learning in a multifaceted and inclusive way with students, and to deliver a challenging, high-quality programme for an international education.
Internationally recognised upper secondary school
The International Baccalaureate is an internationally recognised upper secondary school programme that will qualify you for higher education studies in more than a hundred countries, including Sweden.
If you have set your sights on continuing your studies abroad, the Pre-Diploma Programme with a follow-on two-year International Baccalaureate Programme is a good choice.
PDP, Pre-Diploma Programme 1 year
The Pre-Diploma Programme is a preparatory year for the IB Programme, which is also taught at Haganässkolan. In this preparatory year, you will study Mathematics, Languages, Social Science, and Natural Science. All the courses are in English.
You will get used to studying in English, develop your study techniques, choose the subjects you want to study and at what level once you start on the IB Programme.
After the first year, you will be able either to continue on to the IB Programme or start in year one in a Swedish Gymnasie program if you qualify for a national programme.

Programme structure
The programme consists of six subjects chosen from the following six groups. Usually, one subject is chosen from each group (with som exceptions).
You study three subjects at Higher Level (240 hours) and three at Standard Level (150 hours). In addition to the six subjects, there are three core elements that all IB students throughout the world study. These elements are included in the examination and represent an important part of the programme:
- Theory of Knowledge trains you to think critically. During lectures, logic, ethics and philosophy are discussed.
