What’s Unique in IB?

Theory of Knowledge (TOK):

The focus on TOK is studying what we know in the various fields of knowledge and how we know it (e.g. Connotation of the n-word, Can blind people have dreams? Is violence inherent?)

Extended Exploration:
Scholarly research paper in which each student has the opportunity to investigate a topic of special interest
–based on college standards (a resource for college)


Creativity, Action, Service (CAS):
Students participate in artistic pursuits, sports, and community service in order to develop themselves, the school, and its community
– an organized system ready for your resume/college


International Night:
Producing an event is that memorable every year and part of your community hours.
