IB Diploma
Elian’s British school of la Nucía is an authorised IB Diploma school, and therefore an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy: a commitment to a high quality and challenging international education — a style of education which we believe is essential for our students.
Only schools authorised by the IB Organisation can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP).
PREPARED FOR A GLOBAL FUTURE
The International Baccalaureate is a two-year academic course for students aged from 16 to 18.
Throughout the programme, students at Elian’s British School La Nucía study six subjects of their choice to prepare them for future university studies.
Our team of qualified and officially trained counsellors and teachers offer individual support according to the needs and personal characteristics of each student.
From Year 11 onwards, our students take part in introductory sessions to the Diploma Programme, including workshops held in school and individual meetings. They also take various tests which guide them through a process of self-evaluation and enable them to make more informed choices.
The International Baccalaureate at Elian’s is a two-year course with an external examination, common to all IB students worldwide and subject to a globally standardised assessment. It aims to fully prepare students for the rigours of higher education.
The IB Diploma Programme curriculum includes common, or core components:
- Theory of Knowledge, which is philosophically based and encourages critical reflection.
- CAS (Creativity, Activity and Service), which covers activities and projects related to making connections within the students’ communities.
- A 4,000-word extended essay on a topic students are interested in researching, and which brings them closer to the type of activities undertaken in further and higher education.
These core components develop academic and personal skills, which complement the DP’s six subject groups.
At Elian’s, we offer three study pathways within the International Baccalaureate, which can be personalised by choosing subjects from the six groups.
- The passport for BUSINESS, ECONOMICS, HUMANITIES, LAW
- The passport for HEALTH SCIENCES
- The passport for TECHNOLOGY, COMPUTING AND ENGINEERING.
