  3. The IB Diploma Program Curriculum Model • Standard Level vs. Higher Level: • Standard Level (SL) – course of study that is covered over a period of one school year • Higher Level (HL) – course of study that is covered over a period of two school years • Exams occur at the completion of the course of study

  4. The IB Diploma Program Curriculum Model • The IB Diploma Academic Areas: • Group 1 – Language A – study in the students’ first language (USA – English) • Group 2 – Language B – study in a world language • Group 3 – Individuals & Societies – study in the social sciences • Group 4 – Experimental Sciences • Group 5 – Mathematics • Group 6 – Arts & Electives – study in the fine arts or a second subject from courses offered in Groups 3 & 4.

  5. The IB Diploma Program Curriculum Model • IB Diploma Core: • Extended Essay – 4,000-word independent, research-based paper • Creativity, Action & Service (CAS) –involves students in a range of activities alongside their academic studies throughout the Diploma Program. Creativity encourages students to engage in the arts and creative thinking. Action seeks to develop a healthy lifestyle through physical activity. Service with the community offers a vehicle for a new learning with academic value. The three strands of CAS enhance students’ personal and interpersonal development through experiential learning and enable journeys of self-discovery. • Theory of Knowledge (TOK) – non-tested course in which students will investigate how they know what they know and develop habits of reflection which they bring to each subject, resulting in a deeper intellectual experience.
