The International Baccalaureate Diploma is a diploma granted by the IB Foundation which is accepted worldwide. Bertolt Brecht Gymnasium offers to determined and energetic students the opportunity to earn the IB Diploma (or IB Certificate) as an additional graduation diploma to the Saxon A-Levels.

By earning the IB Diploma, the students prove that they have mastered the English language, which opens doors to the most attractive universities around the world and is in demand with global companies.

The IB is currently offered by 4,282 schools in 149 countries and has more than 1.5 million students. 75 of those schools are located in Germany. BeBe was authorized as an IB World School in June 2011.

The project is sponsored by the city of Dresden and supported financially by the state of Saxony. Additionally, the project is financed by parental contributions and donations.

Each year, approximately 20 students attain IB Diplomas or certificates in individual IB Courses.

IB Collaborative Science Project - 2026

Reconstruction of the Carolabrücke, Selection of the best design

The IB scientists from Grade 11 started the day by attending a presentation by a specialist in city planning from the Dresden city administration. He introduced the students in the different plans submitted by four architectural firms and explained in detail the criteria to be taken in consideration on choosing the best plan.

The students spent the rest of the day working together on all criteria and trying to come to a common solution. In the end the FHECOR and TSSB were the winners.
