Common Questions About IBDP

Quick answers to what parents ask most about the Diploma Programme (IBDP) at JNIS.

What is the IBDP?

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a two-year pre-university programme for students aged 16 to 19 that focuses on academic excellence, critical thinking, research skills, and global perspectives.

How is the IBDP curriculum structured?

The programme consists of six subject groups and three core components— Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Extended Essay (EE), and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS)—which together provide a balanced and holistic education.

How many subjects do students study in the IBDP?

Students study six subjects, choosing one from each of the five main subject groups and either a subject from Group 6 (Arts) or an additional subject from Groups 1 to 5.

What is the difference between Higher Level (HL) and Standard Level (SL) subjects?

Higher Level (HL) subjects are studied in greater depth and require more teaching hours, while Standard Level (SL) subjects provide a solid understanding of the subject with comparatively fewer teaching hours.

What is the Extended Essay (EE)?

The Extended Essay is an independent research project of approximately 4,000 words that allows students to investigate a topic of personal interest and develop university-level research and writing skills.
