The Diploma Programme

IB Diploma Programme students must choose one subject from each of five groups (1 to 5), ensuring breadth of knowledge and understanding in a primary language (English), a second language (Spanish), the social sciences, the experimental sciences, and mathematics. The student may choose either an arts subject from group 6 or a second subject from groups 1 to 5. At least three and not more than four subjects are assessed at higher level (HL), while the other subjects are assessed at standard level (SL). 

In addition to the disciplinary and interdisciplinary study, the Diploma Programme features three core elements (Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity, Service) that broaden students’ educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills.
