THE VALUE OF THE IB DIPLOMA PROGRAMME
International research shows that there are many benefits to choosing the DP over other curricula 
For example:
For example:- DP students are better able than their peers to cope with demanding workloads, manage their time and meet the expectations placed on them, according to one study
- Analysis of DP students in Canada, the UK and the USA found that the DP’s extended essay improves students’ approach to learning in higher education
You can read more key facts about the DP on the IBO website.

IB CORE
The DP core aims to broaden students' educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills.
THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE (TOK)
The Theory of Knowledge course is the central interdisciplinary core around which the subject areas of the International Baccalaureate revolve. By exploring the knowledge systems of mathematics, natural sciences, human sciences, history, the arts, and ethics through the filters of emotion, reason, language, and depth, students and teachers learn to reflect critically on these essential human processes. The course challenges students to become aware of the complexity of knowledge and to acknowledge the need to act responsibly in a global society. .
CREATIVITY, ACTIVITY, SERVICE (CAS)
The creativity, activity, service (CAS) requirement takes seriously the importance of life outside the world of scholarship, providing a counterbalance to the academic self-absorption some students feel within a demanding school curriculum. Participation in CAS encourages students to share their energies and special talents while developing awareness, concern and the ability to work cooperatively with others.
EXTENDED ESSAY (EE)
The EE is an indpendent piece of research on any subject that interests the student and culmitates in a 4000 word paper. This is practical preparation for undergraduate research. This research process develops the capacity to analyze, synthesize and evaluate knowledge.
