F.A.Q
The Diploma Programme offers students the Dutch A-programme, standard level: Literatuur SSST (School Supported Self-Taught Programme). This is a two-part program and is not intended for school use. The student will be required to take the exam in the middle of the school year where he will be assigned to an external World Wide IB Dutch tutor.
Frequently asked questions about International Baccalaureate
SSST is a pathway in which a student takes Language A: Literature at Standard Level in a language that their own school does not offer as a regular subject. The school remains responsible for the official programme and assigns appropriate guidance and supervision within the school. World Wide Dutch Tutor can additionally support the student independently as an external tutor.
