INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE
ORGANISATION'S
DIPLOMA PROGRAMME:
IB Diploma Programme of the International
Baccalaureate Organization is a two-year programme meant
for students of XI and XII (age group 16-19). The
International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) was founded
in Switzerland in 1968 with the purpose of facilitating
international mobility of students preparing for university.
It is currently working with 1,717 schools in 122 countries.
The challenging two year course enables students to learn
more than facts. It encourages students to ask challenging
questions and to develop intercultural understanding while
maintaining a strong sense of their own identity and
culture.
The IB syllabus is broad-based and has a very strong stress
on application-based learning. It lays emphasis on
inculcating the spirit of enquiry. It teaches you to teach
yourself as opposed to being taught. This approach is what
makes it very special, not only for those planning to study
abroad, but also for those who define education as the
creation of an independent thinking mind.
The IB programmes are recognized around the world and the
curriculum, pedagogy and activities focus on international
perspectives, making students global citizens in the true
sense of the word. The curriculum contains six groups from
which the students may choose as per their inclinations,
talents and dreams. There is also a compulsory core
component -- Extended Essay (EE), Theory of Knowledge (TOK)
and Creativity Action Service (CAS) -- is compulsory and
embodies the philosophy of the Diploma programme. At the end
of the two-year programme students are assessed by the
school as well as the IB examiners. Kindly refer to the
curriculum hexagon to know the subjects available.
Students will study six subjects - three at Higher Level
(HL) and three at Standard Level (SL). During the course of
the programme the students will be provided Career Counselling and guidance for filling the application forms
to various universities. The students will benefit immensely
by studying challenging syllabi formulated and taught by
specially trained teachers. Once a student is armed with an
IB Diploma, there is virtually no looking back.
