The Pre-IB Program for Grade 9 and 10 students at Olympia Primary, Middle, and High School is a valuable transition for students on their journey toward global integration.

Developed through a combination of the Vietnamese national curriculum and 12 additional periods of English, Mathematics, and Science aligned with the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) framework, Olympia’s Pre-IB program is designed to help students become familiar with international learning approaches, strengthen critical thinking, and build essential academic skills. This solid foundation prepares students to confidently enter the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) and pursue admission to top-ranked universities worldwide.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a globally recognized education system that develops students' critical thinking, research capabilities, and independent learning. Administered by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), the program aims to nurture well-rounded global citizens with deep knowledge, open-mindedness, and strong problem-solving skills. The IB system offers four programs:

- Primary Years Programme (PYP): For students aged 3 to 12

- Middle Years Programme (MYP): For students aged 11 to 16

- Diploma Programme (IBDP): For students aged 16 to 19

- Career-related Programme (IBCP): For students aged 16 to 19 with specific career aspirations

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is the most popular option among these programs, providing students with a thorough academic experience that prepares them for higher education. The IBDP certificate is recognized by prestigious universities worldwide, offering students a competitive advantage in the global academic landscape.
