IB DP Core

The Heart of the Diploma Programme

A defining feature of the IB Diploma Programme is its three core components, designed to develop inquiry, reflection, research, and personal growth.

Theory of Knowledge (TOK)

Encourages students to explore the nature of knowledge, question assumptions, and develop critical thinking skills across disciplines.

Extended Essay (EE)

An independent, university-style research project that enables students to investigate a topic of personal interest in depth.

Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS)

Experiential learning that challenges students to engage in creative pursuits, physical activities, and meaningful service experiences that benefit communities and society.

Together, these core components cultivate intellectual independence, leadership, empathy, and lifelong learning.
