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.
