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.
