Diploma Requirements

To earn an International Baccalaureate diploma, students must:

Complete courses in six academic subjects, one from each of the IB six subject groups:
- IB diploma candidates must select one subject from each of the six subject groups;
- a second subject from groups 3 or 4 may be substituted for a subject in group 6;
- three IB subjects must be taken at the higher level (HL), and three are taken at the standard level (SL).
Complete the core elements:
- the extended essay, a personal research paper;
- the Theory of Knowledge, a senior seminar course designed to connect all of the disciplines;
- CAS, a student action requirement that requires extra-curricular work in the areas of creativity, activity, and service. IB students must meet 7 learning outcomes with their CAS projects.

All of the above must be done during the students' junior and senior years.
