These subjects must include a primary or literary language (at AIS/D, English A1), a second language, a social science, mathematics, science, and an options course (an arts subject or an additional social science, language, or science). Three of the subjects are taken at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL). Most of these subjects entail study over two years. Students must also complete the Theory of Knowledge course, submit an Extended Essay and engage in Creativity, Action and Service activities.

IB Certificates

Students who do not wish to take on the heavy burden of the Diploma program may still participate in the IB community as Certificate candidates. Any student who enrolls in an IB subject and meets its external requirements may obtain an IB Certificate in that subject. Many universities in North America award college credit for IB Certificates.
