PRE-THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE (TOK) COURSE

Our pre-Theory of Knowledge (TOK) course is the perfect introduction to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) module that students will study the following year. It’s designed to develop our learners’ analytical and evaluation abilities, as well as their communication skills.

TOK is central to the IBDP philosophy, as it encourages students to reflect on the nature of understanding and consider how and why we learn. It’s underpinned by two questions: ‘what do we know?’ and ‘how do we know?’ By discussing these and other important issues, our students become increasingly aware of their personal and ideological assumptions, and develop an appreciation for the diversity and richness of different cultural perspectives.

upper school drama

Our Drama workshops enrich our students’ appreciation of cultural and artistic manifestations, as they create a range of projects by using artistic languages.

Drama boosts our learners’ intrapersonal qualities, including autonomy, self-confidence, self-motivation, time management, reflection, and evaluation. Through group activities, students also learn to work cooperatively, respectfully, and efficiently. Our programme nurtures emotional intelligence, too, through verbal and non-verbal actions, dramatic imagination, and performance.

upper school robotics

Our Robotics workshops are designed to develop advanced thinking and problem-solving skills, as our students use Arduino to design, program, and build prototypes that have real-world applications.

For example, our learners use sensors – such as hydro-metres to measure the humidity of soil – to program intelligent irrigation systems that encourage the better use of water resources. They also learn to program intrusion alarms, sound sensors to activate lights for home automation, and more.

A BREADTH OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Our talented international Upper School educators use their rich multicultural experience to help our students gain a global perspective of the world. At the forefront of educational innovation, our highly qualified teachers will support your child to achieve their goals, delivering memorable experiences that inspire them to succeed.
