Made up of the three required components, the DP core aims to broaden students’educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills.
The three core elements are:
1. Theory of knowledge, in which students reflect on the nature of knowledge and on how we know what we claim to know.
2. The extended essay, which is an independent, self-directed piece of research, finishing with a 4,000-word paper.
3. Creativity, activity, service, in which students complete a project related to those three concepts.
SIX SUBJECT GROUP
- 1. Studies in language and literature
- 2. Language acquisition
- 3. Individuals and societies
- 4. Sciences
- 5. Mathematics
- 6. The arts
There are different courses within each subject group. Almost all the courses that will be shown later have two levels.

CHOOSING SUBJECTS
Students choose courses from the following subject groups: studies in language and literature; language acquisition; individuals and societies; sciences; mathematics; and the arts.
Students may opt to study an additional sciences, individuals and societies, or languages course, instead of a course in the arts.
Students will take some subjects at higher level (HL) and some at standard level (SL). HL and SL courses differ in scope but are measured according to the same grade descriptors, with students expected to demonstrate a greater body of knowledge, understanding and skills at higher level.
Each student takes at least three (but not more than four) subjects at higher level, and the remaining at standard level.
