These achievements highlight the success of the (IB DP) program at Ivanhoe Grammar School which has been running at The Ridgeway Campus since 1994.

The International Baccalaureate Diploma embraces a global perspective and is a qualification that is recognised internationally. Students have the opportunity to study the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program as an alternative to the VCE.
,, The IB Diploma Program operates in more than 1800 schools around the world and provides a comprehensive educational program for motivated students. Highly regarded by both Australian and international universities, the Diploma is recognised as an excellent tertiary preparation course.

The IB Asia Pacific region supports 600 schools offering over 800 programs in 28 countries. There are 151 IB World Schools in Australia that offer one or more of the three IB programs.
