Yes, while IBDP (or DP) is part of the IB, it specifically refers to the high school diploma program designed for older students. The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a specific program within the broader International Baccalaureate (IB) organization. Here’s a simple breakdown:

1. IB: The International Baccalaureate (IB) is an organization that offers four educational programs for students aged 3 to 19. These programs are designed to develop intellectual, personal, emotional, and social skills.
2. IBDP: The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is one of these four programs. It is a two-year educational program primarily for students aged 16 to 19, which leads to a qualification that is recognized by universities worldwide.

The Four IB Programs:

1. Primary Years Programme (PYP): For students aged 3 to 12.
2. Middle Years Programme (MYP): For students aged 11 to 16.
3. Diploma Programme (DP or IBDP): For students aged 16 to 19.
4. Career-related Programme (CP): Also for students aged 16 to 19, but focused on career-related education.

So, while IBDP (or DP) is part of the IB, it specifically refers to the high school diploma program designed for older students.
