DIPLOMA PROGRAMME

WE ARE SCHOLARS

STS students and parents continue to show strong interest in the IB Diploma Programme (DP). This year, the STS Class of 2020 had 49 students registered in the DP, including six Diploma Candidates. Overall, 77 percent of students in the Grade 12 class registered in at least one DP course.

The six Diploma Candidates completed the requirements of the IB Diploma Programme over the course of two years, a significant academic achievement. All completed seven DP courses and prepared to write 12 to 15 IB exams, however the exceptional circumstances of this year led to the cancellation of these exams. Each candidate submitted an Internal Assessment (independent study project) in each course, a 1,600-word Theory of Knowledge essay, a 4,000-word Extended Essay on a topic of their choice and completed ‘CAS’ – a written record of experiences and personal growth in Creativity, Activity and Service. These essays are an impressive reflection of the students’ academic achievements.
