The IB Diploma Programme

The Diploma consists of six subject groups:

Three subjects are studied at Higher Level and three at Standard Level. There will be a number of different options within each of the subject groups.

Central to the Diploma Programme is a compulsory core that comprises three elements:

  • An Extended Essay (an independent research paper on a topic of their choice)
  • Theory of Knowledge (a course in critical thinking)
  • CAS (a programme of Creativity, Action and Service)

At TGS, the extra-curricular programme is extensive and we are pleased with this formal recognition of achievement. This core surrounds six subjects studied.
