IB Diploma
A globally recognized diploma program for students preparing for top universities — delivered at HEYA with a structured system that makes the demand sustainable.

Long-term intellectual capacity
IB Academic Structure Students complete:

Specialization pathways — coding, design, research, entrepreneurship
These are carefully integrated to ensure:
-
Academic priorities remain intact
-
Energy and workload are balanced
-
Development remains sustainable

Clear alignment with long-term goals
Where This Takes Your Child
Students don't just enter strong universities. In many cases, they start ahead.

In many cases, particularly in the US and Canada, students may also receive:
-
University course credits for high-performing IB subjects

Advanced standing
-
The ability to begin at a more advanced academic level
HEYA works with families throughout the program to align subject selection, academic depth, and long-term positioning — so every decision made today already points toward the right outcome.
Where This Takes Your Child
BTEC Level 3 is recognized by universities worldwide — and students leave with more than a qualification.
Students graduate with a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma accepted by many universities worldwide, commonly progressing into programs in art and design, film and media, animation, fashion, performing arts, business and entrepreneurship, and creative technologies.
HEYA works with families to design the right university pathway based on each student's goals — including combining BTEC with academic subjects where needed for specific program requirements.
Beyond the qualification itself, students leave HEYA's BTEC pathway with:
-
A professional portfolio built over the entire program
-
Practical industry experience from real-world exposure and internships
-
Stronger clarity about their future direction
-
Real confidence in their abilities — developed through two years of actually doing the work
