CP vs DP: Which is right for you?

The KIS University Counseling team get to know each student on a personal level. They work closely with families to determine the most appropriate IB programme course and combination of subjects that will challenge and prepare students.

The KIS vision is to inspire individuals so that we can help make the world a better place—helping students to be successful both at KIS and beyond.

The CP should not be perceived as less academic than the DP as it is just as challenging, in fact, the CP can involve more independent study and a higher level of self-discipline and organization than the DP.
