Theory of Knowledge (TOK) Theory of Knowledge (TOK) provides a broad introductory overview of the various types of human knowledge, the means by which that knowledge is acquired & communicated, & its reliability & limitations. CAS (Creativity, Action, Service) CAS provides experiences for students to develop self-confidence, a willingness to help others & empathy. Students get involved in community activity, at a local, national or international level. Extended Essay Students undertake an original, independent research project & produce an essay of a maximum of 4,000 words.
How will I be assessed? You will be assessed by a mixture of internally set assessments & final examinations at the end of the 2 year course.
Are there any special expenses? Visits may take place during the year, including trips abroad, which would incur travelling costs. The cost of travel to any Community Activity would fall to the student.
