Each student takes three High Level (HL) subjects, with a minimum of 240 teaching hours per subject, and three Standard Level (SL) subjects, with a minimum of 150 hours each. All subjects are academically demanding, but HL subjects offer greater depth of knowledge, understanding and development of skills.
In addition to the six subject groups, students engage with the core components of the IB DP:
- Theory of Knowledge (TOK)
- Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS)
- Extended Essay (EE)
These components broaden the academic experience and promote personal growth beyond the classroom.
During the first semester of 10th grade and the final semester of 12th grade, students focus on strengthening the skills and competencies required by the Brazilian National Curriculum (BNCC), ensuring alignment and resulting in dual certification.
The school is committed to continually evaluating the possibility of introducing new courses each year, in response to the constant evolution of the students’ academic and professional interests.
