The IB Diploma Programme
More than 5,500 schools in more than 160 countries are authorised to offer IB programmes. We have more than ten years of experience offering the IB Diploma Programme. The rigorous curriculum provides students with the tools and skills needed to live, learn and thrive in a rapidly changing and more globalised world. The IB DP aims to develop students based on the attributes of the IB Learner Profile.
To be admitted to the IB Diploma Programme in Year 11, Year 10 students need passing grades in English as a First or Second Language, Mathematics, and at least one Natural Science.

An IB Diploma is recognised and accepted by many ministries of education and governments worldwide as an entrance qualification into post-secondary educational institutions and universities.
The three core elements
Creativity – Activity – Service, in which students complete two CAS activities for each CAS category
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) is one of the three essential elements that every student must complete as part of the Diploma Programme. Studied throughout the IB, CAS involves students in a range of activities alongside their academic studies.
CAS is internally assessed. Students reflect on their CAS experiences as part of the Diploma Pogramme, and provide evidence of achieving the seven learning outcomes for CAS, which are:
- Students identify their own strengths and develop areas for growth
- Students should demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken and that new skills are developed in the process
- Students must show commitment to and perseverance in completing CAS experiences
- Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively
- Think about and reflect upon the ethical implications of their choices
Theory of Knowledge (TOK) plays a special role in the IB Diploma Programme as it connects to all subjects and informs the approach to learning. TOK is also a course that is designed to get student think critically about what we know, how we produce knowledge and the tools we use to determine if knowledge is credible.
TOK is a course that is centered around knowledge questions and inquiry. It is organized by examining knowledge through a variety of themes and areas of knowledge
The Extended Essay is an independent piece of research, culminating with a 4,000 word paper.
This core element provides practical preparation for undergraduate research and an opportunity for students to investigate a topic of personal interest to them. Students are supported throughout the process of researching and writing the Extended Essay, with advice and guidance from a supervisor who is usually a teacher at the school.
