To prepare students for university by fostering active learning, inquiry-based questioning, the development of a strong personal and cultural identity, as well as the ability to understand and communicate with people from diverse nationalities and cultures.
The program, which spans over two years, covers six subject groups for each specialization, including Humanities and Sciences. In addition to these subjects, all students must fulfill the requirements of three core components:
- CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service): This element is essential for the Diploma as it contributes to the student’s personal growth and development beyond the academic realm.
- TOK (Theory of Knowledge): It encourages students to reflect on the nature of knowledge in areas such as science, art, mathematics, and history.
- Extended Essay: This involves an in-depth research project on a specific topic of interest to the student, consisting of a maximum of 4000 words. This project prepares students for the academic demands of university.
