​IB Diploma Grades & Assessment

Theory of Knowledge (TOK)

In the IB’s signature Theory of Knowledge course, students inquire into the nature of knowing and deepen their understanding of knowledge as a human construction.

Extended Essay

IB Diploma students also complete a major independent research project – an Extended Essay in which they conduct in-depth study of a question from one of their Diploma subjects they are studying.

Creativity, Action, Service (CAS)

CAS provides opportunities for self-determination, collaboration, individual growth and accomplishment, and personal enjoyment.
