The International Baccalaureate Diploma programme is one of the best pre-university courses globally. At OWIS, we provide a holistic and rigorous education based on the IB DP framework, which prepares students for success in higher education and beyond.
The ib dp courses is a two-year educational programme for students aged 16-19 (Grades 11-12). It is internationally recognised and respected by universities worldwide. It aims to develop students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge- students who flourish intellectually, emotionally, physically and ethically.
At OWIS, our approach to the IB DP is holistic and student-centred. We focus on developing intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills. Our experienced educators guide students through a balanced curriculum that includes both academic and extracurricular activities. We foster a supportive environment where students are encouraged to explore their interests and passions.
The IB DP includes three core components that are connected to the academic subjects. These components work together to give students a comprehensive education.
This course encourages students to reflect on the nature of knowledge and how we know what we claim to know. It develops critical thinking and analytical skills.
The extended essay is an independent research project that allows students to delve deeper into a subject of their choice. It nurtures their research and writing skills, fosters a passion for inquiry and prepares them for undertaking similar projects at higher education levels.
CAS is a vital component of the IB DP that promotes experiential learning beyond the classroom. It encourages students to engage in creative endeavours, physical activities and community service. This fosters a well-rounded approach to personal development.
The Core uses an interdisciplinary approach to learning. This helps students understand complex ideas and appreciate different perspectives.
