DINO Schools of Prague has been a member of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme since 2019. The IB Diploma Programme is a rigorous program of studying that is highly regarded by universities around the world. This curriculum offers students the opportunity to study subjects of their choice in depth and teaches students the study skills that will be critical for higher education.
DINO Schools offers two routes for studying in the last two years of gymnasium (Septima and Oktava). Students have the option to take the full IB Diploma Programme or choosing only specific subjects to study. Students who choose to only take certificates can choose up to six (6) subjects that are offered from the school and are not required to take the Core subjects.
Students who complete the full IB will have to meet the following requirements:
- Pass 6 subjects of the students’ choosing from 5 groups. Students are required to take three (3) subjects at Higher Level (240 hours of teaching over two years) and three (3) subjects at Standard Level (150 hours of teaching over two years).
- Pass the Core subjects:
- Creativity, Action, Service (CAS): CAS enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal development by learning through experience. It provides opportunities for self-determination and collaboration with others, fostering a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment from their work. At the same time, CAS is an important counterbalance to the academic pressures of the DP. For more information please click here.
- Theory of Knowledge (TOK): TOK aims to make students aware of the interpretative nature of knowledge, including personal ideological biases – whether these biases are retained, revised, or rejected. TOK also provides coherence for the student, by linking academic subject areas as well as transcending them. It therefore demonstrates the ways in which the student can apply their knowledge with greater awareness and credibility. For more information, please click here.
- Extended Essay (EE): The extended essay is an independent, self-directed piece of research, finishing with a 4,000-word paper. For more information, please click here.
The IB Programme provides a challenging curriculum that develops quality study habits in the students. In this program, students develop study habits that will benefit them as they pursue higher education and encourages our students to become lifelong learners.
