CPS Global School, We are accredited to offer the two years Diploma Programme (DP) of the International Baccalaureate Organisation of Geneva. It is the highly sought-after pre-university program for students aged 16-19 years. The programme aims to develop students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge – students who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically. It is an academically challenging and balanced program that prepares students for university education and employment anywhere in the world; facilitates geographic and cultural mobility and promotes international understanding.

IB Diploma Programme students study six courses – usually three at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL). Students must choose one subject from each of groups 1 to 5, thus ensuring breadth of experience in languages, individuals and societies, the experimental sciences and mathematics. The sixth subject may be an arts subject chosen from group 6, or the student may choose another subject from groups 1 to 4. Depth is ensured by requiring 3 or 4 subjects at Higher Level. HL and SL courses differ in scope but are measured according to the same grade descriptors, with students expected to demonstrate a greater body of knowledge, understanding and skills at higher level.

DP CORE
In addition the programme has three core requirements that are included to broaden the educational experience and challenge students to apply their knowledge and understanding:

1. The Extended Essay (EE) requires students to engage in independent research through an in-depth study of a topic of interest within a chosen subject finishing with a 4,000-word paper.

2. Theory of Knowledge: This course cultivates the capacity to critically reflect upon the foundational presuppositions of other subjects of study, the nature of knowledge and how we know what we claim to know.

3. Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) requires that students actively learn from the experience of doing real tasks beyond the classroom. Students can combine all three components or do activities related to each one of them separately for at least 18 months. Students reflect on their CAS experiences as part of the DP, and provide evidence of achieving the seven learning outcomes for CAS.
