The International Baccalaureate
Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a comprehensive and academically challenging educational programme
for students aged 16 to 19.
Through the DP, students can develop excellent breadth and depth of
knowledge and also grow physically, intellectually, emotionally, and ethically. The diploma is
widely recognized by top universities worldwide.
At MRIS IB, students in the IB Diploma program select six subjects, opting for three at Higher
Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL).
In addition to their six subjects, all students must also complete the core programme which
comprises three elements: Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), and
the Extended Essay (EE).
Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is a course designed to develop critical thinking skills through group
activities and discussions. It teaches students how to analyze and evaluate knowledge claims
across all their IB subjects and beyond, fostering skills that are universally applicable.
Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) encourages students to pursue their interests beyond
academics. It allows them to create a personalized program of creative projects, physical
activities, and community service initiatives. CAS helps students develop lifelong skills and
make positive contributions to their school and local community.
The Extended Essay (EE) is a
substantial research project where students delve deeply into a topic of personal interest. They
conduct independent research under the guidance of a subject expert, preparing a 4000-word essay
that mirrors university-level research and writing.
The flexibility to combine subjects enables students to build a curriculum that complements their
strengths and aligns with their higher education goals.
The IB Diploma Programme (DP) evaluates students through internal and external assessments. The
maximum score for the IBDP is 45 points. Students can earn up to 7 points in each of the six
subjects, totaling 42 points. An additional 3 points come from TOK and EE. Although Creativity,
Activity, Service (CAS) does not contribute points, participation is mandatory. Students need at
least 24 points and must meet minimum performance levels, including completing the DP core, to
earn the diploma.
