The Diploma Programme is a challenging curriculum for juniors and seniors that fosters critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and respect for global diversity. Students study rigorous, advanced coursework in the core subjects, follow a college-level philosophy course entitled theory of knowledge, complete detailed research on a subject of interest, and participate in extra-curricular projects that combine creativity, action, and service. Students may apply to the IB Programme at the end of their sophomore year.
