The IB Core
In addition to the six chosen subjects, three core elements: the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge and Creativity, Activity, Service – are compulsory and central to the philosophy of the IB programme. Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is a course that links the academic subject areas as well as transcending them and provides an opportunity for students to reflect on the nature of knowledge. The extended essay (EE) is a 4000-word essay that provides the valuable experience of completing a research paper. Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) is a programme that involves students in a range of activities alongside their academic studies.
Please read our Diploma Programme Handbook for more details regarding each subject.
Requirements for the IB Diploma
Students receive grades ranging from 7 ( highest ) to 1 (lowest) for each subject. The award of the IB Diploma requires a minimum of 24 points ( subject to other conditions) and the successful completion of the three core elements. Bonus points are added for the EE and TOK requirements if both are completed satisfactorily. The highest possible score is 45.
