IB Diploma Programme: Classes XI and XII

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a rigorous academic course within a broad
and balanced curriculum in the local and global contexts. DAIS integrates the IB learner profile attributes
into its day-to-day practices, thereby developing inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people, who
help create a better world, through intercultural understanding and respect.
Widely regarded as one of the best pre-university courses in the world, the IB Diploma Programme aims to
develop students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge – students who flourish
intellectually, emotionally, physically and ethically.
Unique to the IB Diploma Programme are its Inquiry Cycle and the Core comprising three components:

• Theory of Knowledge, which explores the nature of knowledge
• CAS – Creativity, Activity and Service

• The Extended Essay, which requires independent research work
The Core ensures that the approach to learning is interdisciplinary, which builds the capacity to engage with
complex ideas and appreciate multiple perspectives.

Students develop their unique strengths through the range of opportunities provided through their journey
in the IBDP. They participate in Model United Nations (MUN) conferences and host Dhirubhai Ambani
International School Model United Nations (DAIMUN) Conference, and the TEDxYouth@DAIS. Through
Round Square conferences and activities, students broaden their horizons, hone their leadership skills, and
gain a variety of experiences that help them develop holistically, embodying the IB's focus on Creativity,
Activity and Service.

Through active participation in the various Exchange programmes, students cultivate a deeper sense of
social and cultural understanding. In addition, students participate in and lead various activities such as
STEM club, debate, videography, Bioethics, Art appreciation, Sporting activities, etc.

The DAIS Robotics Programme provides a valuable skill-building experience, enabling students to learn
how to solve practical problems in creative ways and applying design thinking, while their participation in
challenges such as FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) give them exposure to robotics projects developed by
students from around the world. These regular out-of-classroom experiences enrich student life and pave
the way for greater self-awareness, and inculcate in students the spirit of creativity and innovation.
