The focus on global citizenship, the broadness of subjects and the emphasis on diversity has attracted a lot of students and schools to take the IB Diploma Programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diploma Programme students study language and literature, language acquisition, individuals and societies, science, maths and the arts. The three elements of the IB Diploma Programme are theory of knowledge, the independent extended essay of 4,000 words and CAS: creativity, activity and service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/267608336\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_CAS\"><\/span>What is CAS?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the DP, students complete unassessed projects that they have free reign to choose, targeting three areas of development:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>C<\/strong>reativity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A<\/strong>ctivity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>S<\/strong>ervice<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_trip_should_I_pick_for_my_service_project\"><\/span>What trip should I pick for my service project?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of something you care about, then see if you can improve a cause related to it. There are so many ways you can devote yourself to a cause and also work on personal development, but we believe that going abroad has countless benefits for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s in the name \u2013 you can do the whole upcycling process here, from collecting old plastic bags to sanitising them, then \u201crehashing\u201d them into a bracelet or keyring you can take home. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theintrepidfoundation.org\/rehash-trash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trash Rehash<\/a> is a seriously incredible cause.
