What are the benefits of taking the IB?

The IB offers students at Box Hill many opportunities

In the Sixth Form at Box Hill School, our students are fortunate to have the choice of two academic programmes; A Levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP). Both are academically rigorous and well regarded by top universities, the choice of programme is very much down to which suits each individual. Box Hill School provides a lot of support and guidance to help our students make this informed decision.

We are extremely proud to be an accredited IB World School and have been running this programme with great success for over 15 years. The IB offers:

Great preparation for higher education by developing the types of skills students will need for future studies. For example, all diploma students complete an extended essay, requiring independent research aligned with the study requirements at university.

Amassing critical thinking skills, through the mandatory “Theory of Knowledge” subject, which encourages the acquaintance of knowledge and the understanding of how this can be applied with greater awareness and credibility.

A broad and diverse curriculum (six subjects plus the core) providing a well-rounded holistic education equipping students with the diverse knowledge to pursue a range of university courses and career opportunities.

Students have the opportunity to take part in a programme of education that can lead them to some of the highest-ranking universities around the world and the UK.

Personal development through the CAS (Creativity, Action, Service) component of the IB enabling students the opportunities to get involved in projects outside the classroom.

“The IB is a truly great academic programme because it develops every aspect of the individual. It enables students to perform well academically but equally importantly it encourages them to become curious about the world around them whilst equipping them with critical thinking skills. IB students tend to develop well socially and emotionally, and we see in terms of their personal growth that they set themselves high standards, preparing them for university and life beyond.” Julian Baker, IB Programme Co-ordinator, Box Hill School.
