At Leander High School, the core components are included in the junior year and senior year by the IB Core course. On student schedules, this course is classified as "Study Lab" in the fall of the junior year/spring of the senior year, and "Theory of Knowledge" in the spring of junior year/fall of senior year. However, the course is a consistent two-year course that incorporates Theory of Knowledge, CAS, and the Extended Essay.
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.
