What it is
What the Diploma involves.
Students take six subjects, three at higher level and three at standard, chosen across language and literature, a second language, individuals and societies, sciences, mathematics, and the arts.
Theory of Knowledge
A course that asks students to examine how they know what they claim to know, across every subject rather than inside one.
The Extended Essay
Four thousand words of independent research on a question the student chooses. Students develop the essay with guidance from a supervisor.
Creativity, Activity, Service
Sustained commitment outside the classroom, throughout the programme.
The Diploma is scored out of 45. Each subject is graded 1 to 7, which gives 42, and up to three further points come from Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay together.

Honestly
Choosing the IB Diploma.
The IB Diploma involves study across several subject areas and regular work over two years. Students need to plan for assignments, research and examinations. Our counsellors help families decide whether its structure suits the student’s interests and plans.
We discuss the programme with students and their families before Grade 11. The American High School Diploma and Polish Matura are also available at IAS. Compare the requirements of each route with a counsellor before making a decision.
Before Grade 11
The years before Grade 11.
Middle School is a candidate school for the IB Middle Years Programme. Candidate status is a stage in the authorisation process and is not the same as being authorised.
In practice the years before the Diploma are where the habits are made: independent research, writing at length, and being asked to justify an answer rather than produce one. Classes are kept small, and in the Diploma years that matters more than anywhere else in the school. Extended Essay supervisors meet with students to discuss their research and progress.
