IB Core Classes

There are two core classes that make up the IB Diploma:

Theory of Knowledge (TOK)

This is a critical thinking class that encourages students to reflect on the nature of knowledge. As part of this course, students will study how knowledge is formed, how it is used, and have a greater appreciation for its application of this in real-life situations. Students will be required to evaluate and consider how different perspectives can provide implications in the use of knowledge and develop an awareness of the role this plays in their own lives.

The TOK course revolves around six themes (knowledge and the knower, technology, politics, indigenous societies, religion and language) through the lens of five areas of knowledge (mathematics, arts, natural science, human science and history).

Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS)

An individualised extra-curricular programme that covers experiences that are creative, physically active, and service orientated. This aspect of the IB diploma promotes personal growth through experiential learning.

The student's reflections are centered around seven specific learning outcomes:

1. Strength & growth

2. Challenge & skills

3. Initiative & planning

4. Working collaboratively with others

5. Showing perseverance and commitment

6. Global engagement

7. Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions
