The Extended Essay is one of the core requirements of the IB Diploma. This 4,000-word research project is an opportunity for each student to do scholarly research on a topic of his or her choice. The research and writing process includes identifying interests and narrowing down topics, formulating an engaging research question, collecting and analyzing evidence, and arriving at a supported conclusion.
There are many resources available to students and parents. Below are links to the library's Extended Essay page, the Schoology Extended Essay pages for each class and the calendars of Extended Essay-specific deadlines for each class.Â
Note: information for each incoming class is released in the first semester of students' junior year.
