Is your child entering the IB Diploma feeling a bit intimidated by the Theory of Knowledge course, or daunted by the prospect of writing the Extended Essay? Have they come home saying, “TOK + EE are only worth three points out of the 45 so they’re not something worth worrying about”.
Well, the DP Coordinators we spoke to across Switzerland would want those students who think the DP Core only weighs 3 points to know that they are gravely mistaken. Likewise, they have encouraging words for those a little concerned by it. By following the criteria and expectations of the Core carefully, it can be quite straightforward to achieve success – and those three valuable points. But by really engaging fully with the IB Diploma Core, you can add enormous value to your other subjects and in-so-doing, even add something like six more! How is this possible?
