The curriculum includes components like the Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), and the Extended Essay, which encourage students to engage in critical thinking, research, and self-reflection. Such activities are indispensable for personal growth and self-understanding, helping students to become thoughtful, informed, and responsible adults.
Preparation for Higher Education and Beyond
Universities around the world recognize the IB diploma as a sign of academic competence and preparedness for the rigors of tertiary education. IB graduates are noted for their research skills, time management, and ability to handle challenging coursework, which are highly valued in higher education and beyond.
