The IB Diploma is granted to students who earn 24 points and fulfill the three core components of IB: TOK, EE, and CAS. In order to earn 24 points, students must earn at least 9 SL (Standard Level course) points and 12 HL (Higher Level course) points from IB courses. These points are earned from the final end-of-year IB course grade, compiled from the various assessments throughout the course.
Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is a course taken in junior and senior year. For this course, students must complete an exhibition and a prescribed title essay (PTE).
The Extended Essay (EE) is a 4,000 word, self-guided research paper in a subject of choice.
The TOK and EE core components can contribute up to 3 additional points toward the IB Diploma.
