Choice of Subjects Students
study six subject areas,
at least three of them at high level. The
interdisciplinary course Theory of Knowledge
(TOK), the Creativity, Action, Service (CAS)
programme and the Extended Essay are inseperable
and fundamental parts of the IB diploma. Students
who are not full IB Diploma candidates may
elect to take examinations in any subject

criterion-referenced, which means that each
student’s performance is measured against
well-defined levels of achievement. These
are consistent from one examination session
to the next and are applied equally to all
schools. The programme has earned a reputation
for rigorous assessment, giving IB diploma
holders access to the world’s leading universities.
