Diploma Years Programme
The upper secondary school programme consists of a range of curricular and extra curricular subjects prescribed by the International Baccalaureate's diploma level. This comprises a continous two years course leading to international university entrance qualifications, called the IB Diploma Programme (DP).
The programme has been offered since September 2010 and our first graduates were in May 2012. These students have gone on to a range of courses in tertiary education in the UK, Canada and Denmark.

The Extended Essay
The Extended Essay is an in-depth study of a limited topic within a subject. Its purpose is to provide a student with an opportunity to engage in independent research at an introductory level. For more information on the extended essay, click here.
Theory of Knowledge (ToK)
Theory of Knowledge is a course centered around the question “How do we know?” Students are taught to seek out knowledge through critical thinking and analysis of the Ways of Knowing of Perception, Emotion, Reason and Language. By the end of the course, students should be proficient in formulating arguments and analysing knowledge claims. The central features of the theory of knowledge course are critical analysis questions called Knowledge Issues.
Creativity, Action and Service (CAS)
All students must be actively involved in the CAS programme to obtain the diploma. For more information on CAS, click here.
