Two Years of Study. A Qualification That Opens University Doors Worldwide.

The IB Diploma Programme (DP) is a two-year curriculum for Grades 11–12 (ages 16–18), recognised by leading universities worldwide as excellent preparation for undergraduate study.

Students take six subjects: Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, and the Arts, with three at Higher Level and three at Standard Level. All complete the core requirements: the Extended Essay (4,000-word research project), Theory of Knowledge, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). Subjects are graded 1–7, with 42 points and an additional 3 points for Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge, for a maximum possible score of 45 points.

At XWA, the DP is taught through inquiry and mentorship. Teachers guide students in open-ended research and discussion, using technology across subjects. A dedicated wellbeing team and University & Careers Guidance run alongside academics, ensuring learning, pastoral care, and university preparation operate in parallel from Grade 8 onwards.

Student Experience

第四组科学考察:实地探究

DP科学课程的学生前往印度尼西亚的私人岛屿特鲁纳斯,参加第四组科学考察。生物、化学、物理、设计技术和计算机科学的学生组成跨学科团队,共同应对一项挑战。他们利用综合知识设计并开展调查:在需要他们即兴发挥和实际应用的条件下,绘制水质图并运用科学方法。

这既是CAS(创造、行动、服务)的要求,也是一项实践科学评估,更是XWA文凭课程期间的标志性体验之一。学生们通过这项活动,能更深入地理解科学探究,并掌握在压力下团队协作解决问题的能力。

Subject Choices

六大学科组。高级水平和标准水平。

每位学生从六大学科组中各选择一门课程:语言与文学、语言习得、个体与社会、科学、数学和艺术。其中三门为高级水平课程,大学通常会考察相关领域的深度;另外三门为标准水平课程。

从八年级开始,升学指导帮助学生做出明智的决定。到十年级时,学生在辅导员的指导下选择科目,这得益于两年的探索以及对大学升学途径和要求的清晰理解。

University Guidance

通往顶尖大学的个性化升学路径

XCL世界学院的大学升学指导与咨询服务很早就启动,从八年级开始提供结构化支持,帮助学生探索兴趣、了解职业发展路径并做出明智的科目选择。随着学生进入IB文凭课程,这项服务将演变为高度个性化的大学申请指导,包括课程选择、各国具体要求和申请策略。凭借每班级约1:30的低辅导员与学生比例,学生在每个阶段都能获得专属关注和量身定制的支持。

家庭全程紧密参与,通过定期互动会议和与经验丰富的辅导员交流,学生和家长都能在日益复杂的全球招生环境中获得指导。从大学入学考试准备到最终申请,学生在每一步都获得支持,从而建立在世界顶尖大学取得成功所需的清晰认知、信心和充分准备。

Pathways

The IB Diploma Is One of Three Senior Pathways at XWA

Not every student takes the full IB Diploma. In Grade 10, students work with XWA's DP Coordinatorand the University and Careers Guidance team to choose the pathway that fits their strengths, interests, and university goals: the IB Diploma Programme, the High School Diploma with Advanced Placement courses, or a combination. The goal is the right fit for each student, not a uniform senior year.

Guidance begins in Grade 8, giving families two full years to reach an informed decision alongside XWA's University and Careers Guidance team.

For students choosing the IB Diploma, the curriculum they have followed since Primary Years and through Middle Years has been building the inquiry and research habits the Diploma requires. Students enter the DP building on what they already know.
