International Baccalaureate

A focus on personal and academic excellence

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program offers a liberal arts international curriculum respected by leading universities across the globe. The curriculum is made up of a program core and subjects distributed among six subject groups, which include an array of courses to choose from. The IB provides students with a holistic education that emphasizes both personal and academic excellence.

Program core curriculum

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program core aims to broaden students’ educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills; it includes:

Theory of knowledge, in which students reflect on the nature of knowledge and on how we know what we claim to know.
The extended essay, which is an independent, self-directed piece of research, finishing with a 4,000-word paper.
Creativity, activity, service (CAS), in which students complete a project related to one of those three concepts.
