Diploma Programme
DP Theatre
Strengthen assessment confidence while developing student agency, collaboration and theatre-maker skills across the course.
IB-endorsed professional development
Arts educators are expected to deliver high-quality creative learning within a rigorous, assessment-driven framework, and the complexity of IB arts courses can feel isolating, unclear or overwhelming.
ISTA’s IB workshops are immersive and rooted in real classroom practice, so you leave with assessment clarity, ready-to-use strategies and fresh creative energy.
