International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme

SIS offers Year 12 and 13 students an inspiring and rigorous education through the prestigious IB diploma programme. Three higher level subjects allow specialisation in a particular field of knowledge. The programme also provides breadththrough its three standard level subjects which ensure coverage of a wide range of disciplines, complementing the subjects chosen at higher level.

SIS is unique as the only international school in the region offering the prestigious IB Diploma Programme on both a residential basis and to day students.

Our IB diploma programme includes three key features that contribute to its strength and success:

• Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) that consists of a variety of activities within the community, for example active involvement local charities, and worldwide with visits to orphanages and participation in conferences.
• An Extended Essay consisting of a piece of original research written under the guidance and supervision of subject teachers
• Theory of Knowledge (TOK) that stimulates critical reflection on knowledge and encourages an appreciation of other cultural perspectives.

Through their involvement in these components, students develop skills which set them apart. The student who satisfies the demands of the IB diploma demonstrates a strong commitment to learning, both in terms of the mastery of subject content and in the development of the skills and discipline necessary for success in a competitive world.

We have assembled a team of well-qualified and experienced teachers who nurture and stimulate the IB students. Our aim is to inspire students to realise their full potential as young adults, learners and individuals who can both set and attain personal goals.
