International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program (DP) offers students the opportunity to develop strong academic, social and emotional characteristics. They are also likely to perform well academically – often better than students on other curricula.

The curriculum is made up of the DP core and six subject groups. Made up of the three required components, the DP core  aims to broaden students’ educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills.

The three core elements are:

  • Theory of knowledge, in which students reflect on the nature of knowledge and on how we know what we claim to know.
  • The extended essay, which is an independent, self-directed piece of research, finishing with a 4,000-word paper.
  • Creativity, activity, service, in which students complete a project related to those three concepts.

The six subject groups are:

  • Studies in language and literature
  • Language acquisition
  • Individuals and societies
  • Sciences
  • Mathematics
  • Arts

IB Learner Profile Traits

The IB learner profile represents ten attributes and characteristics valued at Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School that can help our students become responsible participants in their local, national, and global communities (IB, 2013). We promote and encourage the discussion of, and reference to, these traits across all content areas and grade-levels at CCPS through a variety of mediums.
