The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma is a challenging and prestigious programme of study which offers both breadth and flexibility for students. You must select one subject from each of the six groups, typically studying three in depth (at Higher Level) and three others at Standard Level. In this way, a healthy balance is maintained with students able to pursue areas of personal interest whilst still meeting university entrance requirements.

The 6 Subject Groups:

1. English

2. A second language (this could be a language you already study, or a new one)

3. Individuals and Society (History or Psychology)

4. Experimental Sciences (Biology or Chemistry)

5. Mathematics

6. The Arts (Film) or another subject from groups 1-5 above.

You must also take the following 3 compulsory core units

Theory of Knowledge: You will learn how to analyse evidence and express yourself in rational argument.

Creativity, Action and Service: This part of the programme encourages you to get involved in creative and cultural activities such as the theatre or music, sports and community service.

Extended Essay: You will be required to investigate a chosen topic of interest and write a 4,000 word essay
