Often described as the 'cement' of the International Baccalaureate, this course is the most unique and pioneering dimension of the academic programme. Through examining the underlying methods and philosophical assumptions of all the major subject areas covered by the student, Theory of Knowledge encourages an awareness of fundamental problems of knowledge, evidence and truth in all areas of life. Creating an environment of discussion, questioning and debate, students learn vital skills of critical analysis and reflection, thereby developing a greater breadth and depth of perspective on their learning experience. Theory of Knowledge also opens up a vital space in the academic programme for a spirit of sharing and mutual learning, where our rich variety of cultural, ethnic, religious and national heritage is particularly relevant and potent.
