Diploma Core

Diploma Programme (DP) students are required to complete all three parts of the core component of the DP as discussed below.

Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS)

CAS involves students in a range of activities alongside their academic studies throughout the Diploma Programme. Creativity encourages students to engage in the arts and creative thinking. Activity seeks to develop a healthy lifestyle through physical activity. Service with the community offers a vehicle for a new learning with academic value. The three strands of CAS enhance students’ personal and interpersonal development through experiential learning and enable journeys of self-discovery.

For further questions about CAS please contact our CAS Coordinator, Ms. Kristin Abt : kabt@ccsbali.com

Theory of Knowledge

Theory of Knowledge (TOK) develops a coherent approach to learning that unifies the academic disciplines. In this course on critical thinking, students inquire into the nature of knowing and deepen their understanding of knowledge as a human construction.

TOK is taught through stand-alone lessons as well as through collaborative planning in all Diploma subjects.

Assessment is through an individual TOK exhibition in Year 12 and a TOK essay in Year 13.

Extended Essay

The Extended Essay (EE) requires students to engage in independent research through an in-depth study of a question relating to one of the DP subjects they are studying. The end product is a 4,000 word research essay.

This is introduced in November of Year 12 and submitted in December of Year 13.
