The curriculum is comprised of six groups of subjects, that vary according to whether they are oriented towards the sciences or the humanities.
Completing the Programme are three core components that are common to all students:
- Theory of Knowledge (TdC): focussed on teaching students to reflect on the nature of knowledge in all areas.
- Creativity, Action and Service (CAS): activities that help students develop their out-of-school characteristics, to encourage their personal development.
- Dissertation: students choose a theme that is of interest to them and develop it widely, researching and explaining their ideas with clarity and in depth.
