International Baccalaureate Information Evening
In 2013 Villiers
began a long but rewarding journey towards becoming an International
Baccalaureate (IB) school. Following a detailed feasibility study, the school
became an IB Candidate School for the Diploma Programme in 2015.
After IB Consultant
and Verification Visits, Villiers was officially authorised to offer the
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and became an IB World
School in March 2017.
In September 2018,
our first IBDP cohort began and includes students from Germany, Ireland, Poland
and Spain. Students attending Villiers can now choose to study either the Irish
Leaving Certificate or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.
Villiers believes in
a shared IB Schools philosophy: a commitment to high quality, challenging,
international education for all its students.
Students taking the
IBDP route in Villiers can now study:
1.
Studies in language and literature (Group 1): Language and Literature A (English); Language A (self-taught)
2. Language
acquisition (Group 2): Language B (English); Language
B (German); Language ab initio (Japanese)
3. Individuals and
societies (Group 3): Business Management; History
4.
Sciences (Group 4): Biology; Chemistry,Physics
5.
Mathematics (Group 5): Mathematics SL
6.
The arts (Group 6): Visual Arts or another subject from Groups 1-5
In consultation with
the IB Coordinator, alternative Group 1 and Group 2 languages may be available,
but this option may incur an additional charge.
To further augment the range of
subjects available, Villiers has also established links with Pamoja Education
(see http://www.pamojaeducation.com/ for
further details and conditions)
IBDP students are
also expected to study the core elements of Creativity, Activity, Service
(CAS), the Extended Essay (EE) and Theory of Knowledge (TOK).
This programme may be
of particular interest to those seeking educational opportunities particularly
in much sought-after areas such as medicine, veterinary science and
engineering.
Villiers School is holding
an information evening on the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in
the school, on Wednesday October 16th at 7.30pm.
Any interested parties
are warmly welcome to attend and to meet with the school’s International
Baccalaureate Diploma Programme team including, Ms. Storey, Headmistress, and
Mr. Shane Hanna,
Head of IBDP.
