IB Overview:


The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a rigorous pre-university course of studies, leading to examinations, that meets the needs of highly motivated high school students.  The Diploma model is based on the pattern of no single country but incorporates the best elements of several.  

The program offers special features in addition to the traditional strengths of a liberal arts curriculum.

The Theory of Knowledge course seeks to develop a coherent approach to learning which transcends and unifies the academic subjects and encourages appreciation of other cultural perspectives.

Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) is a fundamental part of the curriculum and provides a refreshing counterbalance to the demands of the academic program.  CAS participation encourages young people to reach beyond themselves and their books.

The extended essay of around 4000 words acquaints students with independent research and writing skills expected at universities.
