IB World Schools share a common philosophy committed to delivering high-quality international education that fosters the development of well-rounded, globally minded citizens. These individuals recognize their shared humanity and collective responsibility for the planet. At Eastwood College, we believe that by educating IB learners, we are contributing to building a better world, one child at a time.

This balanced and academically challenging program includes rigorous assessments and is offered during the last two years of high school, with courses available at both Standard and High levels.

To earn the IB diploma, students must succeed in six courses that cover a comprehensive range of educational areas, including Language A, Language B, Individuals & Societies, Experimental Sciences, Mathematics, and Visual Arts.

The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) establishes unified examinations for all authorized IB World Schools. Among the six courses, students must choose three at the High Level (HL) and three at the Standard Level (SL).

Additionally, the Core is a requirement for the Diploma, consisting of Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, Action, and Service (CAS), and the Extended Essay (EE).

The IBDP journey can be demanding and challenging, necessitating commitment from both families and parental support. Positive reinforcement plays a crucial role in fostering a student's resilience and perseverance. Parents are strongly encouraged to support their children and instill a positive attitude towards this valuable educational experience that promotes personal growth.
