Senior School Prospectus.
2024-2026
Overview
As the diagram shows, the curriculum consists of six subject groups
Every IB Diploma candidate must take at least one subject from each of Groups 1 to 5 and must then satisfy the Group 6 requirement
Students take a total of 6 subjects: 3 subjects at Higher Level and 3 at Standard Level
Those at Higher Level are widely recognised as being equivalent to the English “A” Level or to the Advanced Placement (AP) in the United States
Subjects at Standard Level are less demanding but when taken as an individual course are perfectly acceptable to many Universities
Students write a 4,000 word Extended Essay based upon independent research
Students follow a Theory of Knowledge (ToK) course of 100 hours
Students complete Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS), which has a special emphasis on cooperative and community-based activities
Students who enter the full IB Diploma but fail are still eligible for qualifications in individual IB Diploma Programme Courses
