IBDP Curriculum:

The curriculum contains six subject groups together with a core made up of three separate parts. Students study six subjects selected from the six subject groups

Normally three subjects are studied at higher level (240 teaching hours per subject), and the remaining three subjects are studied at standard level (150 teaching hours per subject).

In addition, Diploma students write a 4,000 word extended essay, complete a course in theory of knowledge, and complete a number of creativity, action and service (CAS) projects. These are core requirements and are central to the philosophy of the Diploma Programme

The CORE:

Theory of Knowledge - an internally and externally assessed interdisciplinary component which is designed to explore and critically examine the different concepts of knowledge found in the various subjects and culture

Extended Essay - an externally assessed, independent research assignment of 4,000 words in one of the six subject areas. This is one of the ways in which IB Diploma Programme students can specialize in a certain subject area and prepare for university studies.

Creativity, action, service (CAS) - participation over the two years in creative, physical and service activities in the local community. The CAS requirement allows students to gain real-life experience beyond the classroom.
