At Leander High School, the core components are in the junior year by the IB Core course, and in the senior year by the TOK course and IB Pride Time (our advisory period).

The Diploma Programme Core aims to broaden students’ educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills. The Core is made up of three components:

  • Theory of Knowledge

  • Extended Essay

  • CAS (Creativity, Activity, and Service)

All core components are required to earn the IB Diploma, and the scores on the TOK essay and the Extended Essay can combine to add points toward the overall IB Diploma.
