His love for his environment suggests what work he should choose. Something calls to him to fulfil his mission. Man then works with a true spirit of sacrifice and by his work transforms the environment, creating another world that pervades all of nature. This world is something more than nature, for to build it man uses everything that exists in nature. Man creates a supernature. And man\u2019s supernature is different from ordinary nature.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>

Welcome to our Upper Secondary (High School) Program: A unique educational journey for future leaders with an international mindset, ready to change the world.<\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Discover School is authorised for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) and enrols upper secondary students<\/span>.\u00a0Based on a 2-year programme, the International Baccalaureate curriculum issues the only international diploma recognised at more than 2 000 institutions worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

In Grades 11 and 12, our students will take the IB Diploma Program, which is recognised by universities worldwide.<\/p>\n

The IB Diploma Program (Grades 11 and 12) is the gold standard for university entrance qualifications worldwide. In many cases, IB graduates are offered direct entrance into universities in European countries, the UK, and the USA without the need to take additional admissions tests.<\/p>\n

As it is a challenging programme with externally assessed examinations, admission is based on a student\u2019s school record and admissions tests for external candidates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Discover School is an IB\u00ae Continuum World School offering the Primary Years Program (PYP), the Middle Years Program (MYP) and <\/strong>the Diploma Program (DP)<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The implementation of the Diploma Program (DP) further strengthens the school\u2019s commitment to holistic, inquiry-based, and internationally-minded education, seamlessly building upon the foundation established by the Primary Years Program (PYP) and Middle Years Program (MYP). The PYP fosters curiosity, creativity, and foundational transdisciplinary skills, while the MYP deepens conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary learning. The DP extends this progression by providing a rigorous academic framework that challenges students to think creatively and critically, to apply their knowledge in complex, real-world contexts, develop research and self-management skills, and engage in meaningful reflection through the Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay (EE), and Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This continuity ensures that students graduate as independent, globally-minded thinkers, well-prepared for university and beyond, while reinforcing the Discover School\u2019s mission of lifelong learning and personal development.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Subject Specialisation: CHOOSING THE RIGHT COMBINATION<\/span><\/span><\/h4>

The range of subjects enables students to study potentially any discipline at the university level (depending on their higher-level subjects). Three of the subjects are studied at the higher level, and students obtain greater depth in these choices.<\/p>\n

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program curriculum is built around 6 academic areas enclosing a central core.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Within the academic areas, students will choose their subjects from the following list:<\/p>\n
