West Campus - High <strong>School</strong> (Grades 11 and 12)<br />
In preparation for higher or tertiary education, <strong>Raffles</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>School</strong> West Campus<br />
students who have successfully completed two years of IGCSE study or equivalent will continue<br />
with the world- class <strong>International</strong> Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). This ensures that<br />
our students develop as internationally minded people who, recognising their common humanity<br />
and shared guardianship of the planet help to create a better and more peaceful world.<br />
As of April 2010, <strong>Raffles</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>School</strong> West Campus has been authorised as an IB World<br />
<strong>School</strong> for its Diploma Programme. The IBDP at <strong>Raffles</strong> West is taught by extremely qualified and<br />
experienced academic staff many of who are IBDP examiners and moderators and have been<br />
involved with the programme for many years. With this experience, students can be confident<br />
that they will be given every opportunity to succeed.<br />
The IBDP is a two-year course that is recognised internationally as a qualification for university<br />
entrance. It also allows students to fulfill the requirements of their national education system.<br />
Students share an educational experience that emphaises critical thinking as well as intercultural<br />
understanding and respect for others in the global community.<br />
The IBDP offers a broad and balanced curriculum in which students are encouraged to apply<br />
what they learn in the classroom to real world issues and problems. Wherever possible, subjects<br />
are taught from an international perspective.<br />
Students study six courses selected from six subject<br />
groups, including both the sciences and humanities.<br />
They also study Theory of Knowledge, undertake an<br />
individual research project known as the Extended<br />
Essay and participate in a variety of CAS (Creativity,<br />
Action and Service) activities.<br />
Graduates from <strong>Raffles</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>School</strong> will be<br />
prepared to take full advantage of whatever higher<br />
education or university education has to offer.<br />
