IB Diploma Grades & Assessment
Theory of Knowledge (TOK)
In the IB’s signature Theory of Knowledge course, students inquire into the nature of knowing and deepen their understanding of knowledge as a human construction.
Extended Essay
IB Diploma students also complete a major independent research project – an Extended Essay in which they conduct in-depth study of a question from one of their Diploma subjects they are studying.
Creativity, Action, Service (CAS)
CAS provides opportunities for self-determination, collaboration, individual growth and accomplishment, and personal enjoyment. It involves students in a range of activities alongside their academic studies that promote originality, healthy lifestyles, and responsible membership in local and global communities through reciprocal service.
These initiatives and activities are a key part of our students’ education, and include:
- Local and global community outreach projects
