Three programmes at a glance

• The Primary Years Programme (PYP) may be taught in any language.

The IB publishes PYP curriculum documents in English, French and Spanish but this does not prevent schools teaching the programme in other languages.

• The Middle Years Programme (MYP) may be taught in any language.

The IB publishes MYP curriculum documents in English, French, Spanish and Chinese but this does not prevent schools teaching the programme in other languages. However, if schools require the grades of their students to be validated by the IB then sufficient student work must be produced in English, French, Spanish or Chinese.

• The Diploma Programme may be taught in English, French or Spanish.

The IB publishes Diploma Programme curriculum documents and produces examination papers in English, French and Spanish. Schools must therefore choose at least one of these languages as the language of instruction in the school.
