Two years prior to the matriculation of IGBIS's students, they are offered different programmes to suit their desired academic pathway. The first of which is the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), which is aimed at students from the age of 16 to 19 and is developed by the International Baccalaureate. The aforementioned programme consists of 6 subjects, from 6 different subject groups, and three core requirements. IGBIS was first authoritherised to carry out the IBDP on the 4th of October 2013.[2] [20] The second academic pathway available for IGBIS students aged 16 to 19 is the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP) aimed towards students looking to pursue Arts and Design[2] . The University Level courses taken by IGBIS's students during their 2 year IBCP course will see them take part in classes facilitated by the Savannah College of Art and Design. Thirdly, the High School Diploma (HSD) is offered to students and serves as the most flexible option of all three Pre-University course[21]. [22] The IB Diploma Programme is the most popular programme, with the most students, followed by the High School Diploma and IB Career-related Programme[8].
The youngest students, which would be three-year olds, would be placed into the programme dubbed "Fireflies". This is followed by "Early Years 1" and "Early Years 2" in that order, and which are both prerequisites to the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP)[2], which will see students all the way from Grades Kindergarten to Grade 5. The IBPYP is sequeled by the International Middle Years Programme (IBMYP), which will take the students from Grade 5 to Grade 10[22]. [23] [24] [25] . Ever since IGB International School got authorised to offer the IBCP on the 18th of August 2017, it became the first school in Malaysia to be offering the full four programme of the International Baccalaureate Continuum which consist of the IBPYP, IBMYP, IBDP, IBCP.[26]
