IB Diploma Programme
Among the many high school/ senior school qualifications around the globe, the IB Diploma Programme (DP) has over the years earned the distinction of being one of the most challenging and broadest in focus.
The IB DP incorporates the best elements of many national systems without being based on any single one.
The programme requires students to study atleast one subject from the humanities (social sciences), two languages, an experimental science, maths and the arts.
An indepth research component (extended essay), an epistemology course (titled Theory of Knowledge) and Creativity, activity and service to the school community and beyond link the subjects together, encouraging students to reflect on their values and recognise those of others.
The IB Diploma Program
The aim of the DP at MBIS is the all round development of students intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially, so that when they graduate from school they are ready for active world citizenship.
Students are required to opt for a total of 6 subjects of 3 should be at the Higher Level and 3 at the Standard Level. Besides these, all students must meet the core requirements to be eligible for the IB Diploma. This includes (a) Theory of Knowledge – a course that encourages students to learn more about the nature of knowledge and also critically evaluate the sources through which we obtain knowledge; (b) Extended Essay – an independent research thesis that students write in any one of their six subjects. Finally, to develop compassion and empathy, all students would be engaged in (c) Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) activities over the two years of the DP. CAS moves student learning from inside the classroom to outside (within the community we live in).
Overall, the six subjects and the three core elements allow students to develop holistically ready to make a successful transition into their preferred institution of higher learning whilst at the same time also having been sensitised to the needs to people in the community who may not be as priveleged as they are.
