What Makes the IB Diploma ProgrammeStand Out?
• The IB Diploma Programme is a two year university preparation program
• It focuses on an internationally minded curriculum that is geared for students aged 16-19 (Grades 11 and 12 at REMSS)
• The curriculum is both rigorous and relevant
• The IB Diploma Programme is recognized and highly regarded by the world’s leading universities
• Successful completion of the IB Diploma Programme and/or IB Certificate courses results in transfer credit at universities

with the independent research and writing skills that are expected at the university level
What Does the Diploma ProgrammeCurriculum Contain? Core Requirements: Theory of Knowledge(TOK course)• An interdisciplinary course that examines the
nature of knowledge• Students look at the role knowledge plays in
each discipline and how knowledge is acquired• How do we know what we know? How is our

IB Diploma Programme: Four main elements
Curriculum Student Assessment
Professional Development
School Evaluation
The IB Diploma Programme is designed as an academically challenging and balanced educational program with final examinations. Its intent is to prepare students for future academic and professional success.
What is unique about IB
Assessment?
• IB assessments are rigorous, criterion based, and consistent• IB assessments consist of both final
examinations that are externally assessed, and internal assessments that are undertaken by classroom teachers and then moderated by IB examiners• All 4000 IB examiners are consistently “quality
checked” through a process of moderation that takes place throughout the assessment period• The IB conducts random inspections of
schools during exams to ensure adherence to exam regulations. • IB results for May exams are published on July
5th
IB Assessment• The IB Diploma is graded over 45 points giving ample scope to differentiate
student ability• Marks for each course range from 1 (lowest) to 7 (highest)• The IB Diploma is awarded to every student who is able to achieve at least
24 points• Our IB Diploma achievement rate is consistent year after year• More on IB Diploma Programme assessment—Principles and Practice can be
found at www.ibo.org
