The personal project
Each student completes a personal project, a significant piece of work that is the product of the student's own initiative and creativity.
Each project must reflect a personal understanding of global context. Students apply the skills acquired through one of these areas as well as approaches to learning.
Students are expected to choose their project, which can take many forms, and take the process through to completion under the supervision of a teacher in the school. This involves: planning, research, and a high degree of personal reflection.
The personal project is assessed by teachers against a set of IB assessment criteria after students explain their project during an oral presentation.
