International Maarif Schools Erbil is an authorized IB World School for the IB Diploma Programme. As an International Baccalaureate World School offering the Diploma Programme, we are part of a global community of schools committed to developing knowledgeable, caring young people who will be ready to negotiate their futures successfully and make contributions resulting in a more harmonious and peaceful world.
The Diploma Programme (DP) curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the DP core, comprising theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS) and the extended essay.
Made up of the three required components, the DP core aims to broaden students’ educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills.
The three core elements are:
· Theory of knowledge, in which students reflect on the nature of knowledge and on how we know what we claim to know.
· The extended essay, which is an independent, self-directed piece of research, finishing with a 4,000-word paper.
· Creativity, activity, service, in which students complete a project related to those three concepts.
Students choose courses from the following subject groups:
· Studies in language and literature
· Language acquisition
· Individuals and societies
· Sciences
· Mathematics
· The Arts
At present the subjects we will teach (in alphabetical order) are Arabic, Biology, Business Management, Chemistry, Computer Science, English, Mathematics, Music, Physics, Turkish. More subjects may be added later.
