Students choose courses from the following subject groups:Group 1 Language and Literature English LiteratureGroup 2 Language Acquisition Dutch* French Japanese* SpanishGroup 3 Individuals and Societies Economics History Geography PsychologyGroup 4 Sciences Biology Chemistry PhysicsGroup 5 MathematicsGroup 6 The Arts or an additional subject from Groups 1 to 4.
The Core consists of:• Extended Essay or Reflective Project - which is an independent, self-directed
piece of research, finishing with a 4,000-word paper.• Theory of Knowledge or Approaches to Learning - in which students reflect on
the nature of knowledge and on how we know what we claim to know.• Creativity Action and Service - in which students complete a project related to
those three concepts.
Co-Curricular ProgramAll students participate in our co curricular activities because we believe that High School should be seen as a transformative experience through which students can prepare themselves to succeed in the many and varied roles they will undertake in future life.
We strongly believe that given the right tools, students will thrive in taking charge of their own development. Instead of simply a list of adult-led Clubs for students join, our students are guided to create their exploratory journeys, which ultimately allow them to learn new knowledge and skills beyond their academic curricula. These activities help students make sense of, and take responsibility for, their learning and future.
Through their IB Core students are expected to develop a reflective portfolio to assist their development and showcase evidence of their skills and capabilities.
