A DIFFERENT AND INTENSE WAY OF LEARNING
The IB Curriculum works six areas of knowledge, which are organized around a core constituted by the mandatory requirements to obtain Diploma IB.
THE CORE
A. Theory of knowledge
The students have to reflect on the way thanks to which they have come to know what they know, obtaining in this way a critical capacity applicable to any subject.
B. Creativity, action and service
The objective of the IB is the integral formation of the person. This includes developing humanitarian feelings and citizen responsibility that are reached when students look beyond themselves.
A. Monograph
The candidates for the Diploma must carry out an original research and write a work of about 4000 words.
THE SIX AREAS
FIRST LANGUAGE
The IB allows to study more than 80 different languages, generically called A1 languages. The objectives are that the student uses, both orally and in writing, their language and generate interest in literature in the student.
SECOND LANGUAGE
The English B (high level) language course offers students who already have a certain base, to deepen the knowledge of the language through a communicative orientation. The objective is that students understand what they listen to and can speak, read and write the language through the studied texts.
INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES: THE HUMANITIES
All IB students must follow Philosophy’s subject, with the study of the work of the most important thinkers of all time. Students who opt for Humanities will study the History of Europe with the study of the fundamental events that have marked the life of our continent.
