The International Baccalaureate comprises six taught subjects – three studied at Higher Level and three at Standard Level. Current subjects include:
- The student’s first language
- English, French, German or Spanish as a second language
- A Humanities subject chosen from Economics, Geography, History or Psychology
- A Science subject chosen from Chemistry, Biology or Physics
- Mathematics
- Art, or a choice from the first four options
Students are also required to submit an Extended Essay of 4,000 words on a subject of their own choice, which is completed under the guidance of a supervisor. They must also complete ‘Creativity, Action, Service’ - which requires participation in sporting and creative activities whilst also engaging in a worthwhile community based activity. The Theory of Knowledge component is the foundation of the whole programme. It encourages critical thinking and assesses this through a formal essay and an oral presentation. The final Diploma is awarded on the basis of marks gained for coursework, and a final examination in each subject.
