IB Program at DRSIS
a)
Diploma Program (DP)
b)
Primary Year Program (PYP)
A) The Diploma Program:
The programme is a comprehensive
two-year international curriculum, available in English, French
and Spanish, that generally allows students to fulfil the
requirements of their national systems, without being based on
any one. Internationally mobile students are able to transfer
from one IB school to another.
Curriculum
The programme has the strengths of a
traditional and broad curriculum, but with three important
additional features, shown at the centre of the hexagonal
curriculum model.
DIPLOMA PROGRAMME
a) Creative, Action, Service (CAS)
The IBO’s goal is to educate the
whole person and develop compassionate citizens. The CAS
programme encourages students to share
their energy and special talents with others : students may, for
example, participate in theatre or musical productions, sports
and community service activities. Students should, through these
activities develop greater awareness of themselves, concern for
others, and the ability to work cooperatively with people in
their community
b) Theory of
Knowledge (TOK)
Theory of Knowledge is an
interdisciplinary requirement intended to stimulate critical
reflection on the knowledge and experience gained inside and
outside the classroom. The course challenges students to
question the bases of knowledge, to be aware of subjective and
ideological baises and to develop the ability to analyse
evidence that is expressed in rational argument.
c) Extended Essay (4,000 words)
The IBO recommends that a student
devote a total of about 40 hours of private study and writing
time to the essay, which may be written in one of 60 subjects,
including many languages. The essay permits students to deepen
their programs of study, for example, by selecting a topic in
one of their higher level (HL) course.
Subject Choices
Students choose six subjects from
the six academic areas around the hexagonal curriculum model.
These subjects are studied concurrently, and students are
required to study in both humanities and the sciences, as well
as a second language.
Admission criteria
The Diploma programme is a pre
university course designed by IB for the age group of 16-19
years. Any student seeking admission into IB DP should have
passed Grade X in CBSE/ICSE/State board.
