The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP):<\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n

The IB Diploma is an exciting programme that focuses not only on the academic enrichment of the student, but their personal development as a well-rounded individual. It is highly-respected internationally and recognised by all UK and International universities. The Diploma offers a breadth of knowledge and range of skills that are sought after by employers and higher education alike.<\/p>\n

The IB Diploma allows students to follow six subjects from different areas of study including literature, a foreign language, humanities, science, maths, and an optional arts subject. Students also research and write an Extended Essay in an area of interest to them; this is highly regarded by universities. At the core of the programme, their academic study is complemented with a course on the Theory of Knowledge, their also opportunities to gain leadership skills and credit for their extracurricular activities in Creativity, Action and Service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Creativity, Action, Service (CAS)<\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n

Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) focuses on personal development outside the classroom. The student engages in Creativity, through the arts and creative thinking; Action, through physical activity, contributing to a healthy lifestyle; and Service, volunteering to benefit others. A personal journey of self-discovery, CAS is a challenging endeavour in personal growth. Students are supported in the innovative completion of CAS in community, local and global projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Extended Essay<\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n

The Extended Essay is an in-depth study on a topic of the student\u2019s choosing. It is the perfect opportunity to show knowledge, understanding, and enthusiasm for the student\u2019s academic interests through high-level research and intellectual discovery- this excellent preparation for the expectation of university level academic writing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Theory of Knowledge<\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n

The Theory of Knowledge focuses on critical thinking, challenging the notion of learning as the mere acquisition of facts. The complexities associated with knowledge are closely considered; we look at what we believe to be true, the reasons we have for holding these beliefs and whether or not our reasons for holding them are \u2018good or useful\u2019. The aim is not only to introduce students to a range of ideas and debates, but to encourage them to view their own ideas, beliefs, and opinions in light of those of others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
