According to IB, the Diploma Program (DP) aims to develop students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge—students who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically. 

The curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the DP core, comprising theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS) and the extended essay. 

Through the Diploma Program (DP) core, students reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research and undertake a project that often involves community service.
