• 什么是IB ?? IB是如何工作的?

  国际文凭课程, 成立于1968年，被公认为世界教育的黄金标准, provides an academically challenging 和 平衡 program of study to talented 和 motivated 11th 和 12th graders around the world. IB coursework balances subject breadth 和 depth with a concern for an underst和ing of the connectedness of disciplines 和 intentionally fosters international mindedness. Its reputation is based on rigorous external assessments which emphasize the development of the whole student: physically, 智力, 情感上和道德上. 更多信息，请访问 国际文凭网站.
  
  

  国际学士学位 Diploma c和idates are expected to do IB coursework in six major areas, 包括文学, 语言, 社会研究, 实验科学, mathematics 和 elective of either arts or an additional course from one of the other subject areas. At least 三个 和 not more than four subjects are taken at higher level; the others, 在标准水平上.
  
  The Diploma Programme has 三个 additional core requirements intended to broaden the educational experience 和 challenge students to apply what they learn in personally 和 socially meaningful ways. 这些要求包括一个4,000-word extended essay on a subject of the student’s choice; a course called Theory of Knowledge (TOK) that examines the nature of knowledge 和 different ways 和 kinds of knowing; 和 a requirement called Creativity, 活动, 服务 (CAS) which requires 150 hours of personally 和 socially relevant activity beyond the classroom 和, 在很多情况下, 走出校园.
