Acquire breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding, studying courses from 6 subject groups
Develop the skills and a positive attitude toward learning that will prepare them for higher education
Study at least two languages and increase understanding of cultures, including their own
Make connections across traditional academic disciplines and explore the nature of knowledge through the programme’s unique theory of knowledge course
Undertake in-depth research into an area of interest through the lens of one or more academic disciplines in the extended essay
Enhance their personal and interpersonal development through creativity, activity and service
