STRUCTURE OF THE CURRICULUM

The diploma structure may be displayed as a hexagon with six academic areas surrounding a core of diploma requirements. 

Diploma candidates are required to select one subject from each of the six groups. At least three have to be taken at higher level (a minimum of 240 teaching hours) and the others at standard level (min. 150 hours). To obtain an IB diploma a student must also fulfill three additional requirements: Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay and CAS.
