This page is for Singapore families whose child follows the International Baccalaureate at an international school. Subject specialists teach Diploma subjects at SL and HL, and support the internal assessments, Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge, one to one and online.

## Where your child is now.

| Programme | Typical ages | What we support |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Years Programme (PYP) | 3–12 | English and maths skills alongside the programme |
| Middle Years Programme (MYP) | 11–16 | English, maths and sciences; preparation for Diploma subjects |
| Diploma Programme (DP) | 16–19 | Subjects at SL and HL; IA, Extended Essay and TOK |

Programme ages are as described by the [IBO](https://www.ibo.org/programmes/). Each school decides its own course choices.

## Internal assessment and the core.

Alongside subjects at SL and HL, Diploma students complete internal assessments and the core, which includes the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge.

- **Internal assessments**: Planning, method and feedback on drafts, within the IB's rules on outside help.
- **Extended Essay**: Choosing a research question, structure and sources.
- **Theory of Knowledge**: Building the essay and exhibition from your child's own subjects.

## The two years of the Diploma.

Most IB schools in Singapore follow an August start and sit final exams in the May session (to be confirmed). Each school sets its own deadlines within these stages; your coordinator plans lessons around your child's school calendar, internal deadlines and mock exams. It can help to start lessons when subject choices are made, or when the first internal deadlines appear.

The Diploma, in order: Subject choices · Internal assessments · Extended Essay and TOK · Mock exams · Final exams
