The International Baccalaureate Diploma
Programme.
The IB Diploma Programme, administered by
the International Baccalaureate Organisation,
Geneva, is a demanding two-year programme
that incorporates elements of several national
systems. It combines the specialization required
by some and the breadth preferred by others.
This programme has an enviable reputation
for academic rigour and places strong emphasis
on critical thinking and intercultural understanding.
Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of
the IB Diploma is that it fosters the spirit
of learning through questioning and discovery
- the finding out of the 'why', not just the
learning of 'what'.
The IB Diploma is considered one of the best-balanced
and most challenging pre-university courses
in the world. A student must elect to study
six subject areas and undertake a course
in the Theory of Knowledge. This is an inter-disciplinary
programme designed to stimulate critical
reflection on knowledge and on experience
gained both inside the classroom and outside.
The Extended Essay is another unique feature
of the IB; students undertake original research
on a topic of special interest and write
a thesis of no more than 4,000 words. The 'Creativity,
Action and Service' programme plays
a crucial part in the development of well-rounded,
thoughtfully aware and caring young people.
Leading universities throughout the world
recognize the IB Diploma for admission to
undergraduate programmes. The
