IBDP
The International Baccalaureate (IB) education is unique in its philosophy which makes it the highest and most rigorous high school diploma
worldwide. Narmer American College aims at offering the best educational programmes that would enhance the learning of our students and foster
their opportunities to join reputable universities and eventually elite careers.
“In 1968, the IB Diploma Programme (DP) was established to provide a challenging and comprehensive education that would enable students to
understand and manage the complexities of our world and provide them with skills and attitudes for taking responsible action for the future. Such an

cultural, national and geographical boundaries.”
