The Journey to the Diploma Programme

Success in the IB Diploma doesn’t happen overnight. It requires years of preparation, skill development, and academic foundation-building. As a comprehensive IB school in Morocco, Planète Montessori has designed a seamless pathway that guides students from their earliest years through to the DP.

Foundation in the Primary Years

The journey begins in our IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), where students develop essential learning skills: inquiry, critical thinking, communication, and self-management. These foundational skills will serve them throughout their educational journey.

Building Skills in the Middle Years

The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) at Planète Montessori builds upon the PYP foundation, challenging students to make connections between subjects and the real world. Through the MYP’s rigorous framework, students:

  • Deepen their subject knowledge across eight academic areas
  • Develop research skills through the Personal Project
  • Strengthen critical thinking through inquiry-based learning
  • Build time management and organizational abilities
  • Practice academic writing and presentation skills

Transitioning to the Diploma Programme

As students approach the DP, our bilingual international school in Marrakech provides comprehensive support to ensure a smooth transition:

Study Skills Development

Success in the Diploma Programme

Planète Montessori students who enter the DP consistently achieve strong results. Our graduates have gained admission to prestigious universities in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, and beyond.
