Other diploma program components:
Theory of Knowledge (TOK): Two semesters of time during SRT (student resource time) for Theory of Knowledge. This is a discovery-course exploring "why and how we have come to know the things we do." It is a time for students to contemplate the nature of learning. This course encourages an understanding of part of the IB mission statement that "all people with their differences may also be right."
Creativity, Action, Service (CAS): This feature is also discussed and guidance is given during SRT. This is a student-led feature of the program. The CAS supervisor offers guidance regarding what is acceptable but the supervisor does not determine what students choose to do to earn these points.
