WE GIVE OUR STUDENTS THE FREEDOM TO EXPLORE, THE TOOLS TO SET THEIR OWN COURSE AND THE CONFIDENCE TO NAVIGATE THE WORLD. IB Diploma Programme
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) is a comprehensive and rigorous two-year academic programme, for students aged 16 – 19, which equips students with the tools they will need for higher education. It is an international curriculum recognized in many countries around the world. The programme aims to develop students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge—students who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically. It’s stimulating, inspiring, and allows students to really excel and see what they’re capable of. For those who choose to challenge themselves, the IB is hugely rewarding. Students finish with skills and a level of confidence that will push them forward their whole life through.
The Diploma Programme (DP) curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the DP core, comprising Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) and the Extended Essay. Through the DP core, students reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research and undertake a project that often involves community service.
At ISW we offer the following subject choices (students will need to choose 6 subjects in total, one from each Subject Group. 3 subjects need to be chosen at the Higher Level (HL) and 3 at the Standard Level (SL)):
