The IBCC framework
The IBCC consists of the study of Diploma Programme courses along with a unique IBCC core. The core includes community and service, the approaches to learning (ATL) course, language development and a reflective project blended together to enhance individual critical thinking and intercultural understanding. These elements come together to help students develop the communication and personal skills necessary for success. Surrounding the IBCC core is the requirement of a minimum of two IB Diploma Programme courses. The core forms a bridge between the rigorous requirements of the IB Diploma courses and the targeted career-related studies chosen by the student.
In addition to the IBCC core and IB Diploma courses,
students are expected to engage in a career-related study.
