DP Coordinator’s Welcome

Dear families,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 Academic year!

The IB Diploma Programme is the most rigorous course of study available for high school students, and we are proud to offer it here at Tashkent International School. Students can opt to be on the full diploma pathway or the courses pathway.

The Diploma Programme (DP) is a two-year course of study consisting of six subject groups: Language A, Language B, Individuals and Societies, The sciences, mathematics and the arts.

In addition to their subject choices, students are required to participate in the core. The core is what really makes the DP unique. Students engage in a piece of formal research that equips them with the skills of scholarship that are so essential to success at university, The Extended Essay. Theory of knowledge is a course in critical thinking, which ties the curriculum together as students study how knowledge is gained across subjects. And through the Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) programme, students participate in experiential learning through creative and physical activities and service to others. Taken together, the core and the breadth and depth offered by the student’s subject choices make the DP a unique and effective educational path to creating principled, lifelong learners with the skills, passion and knowledge to understand and shape the world and make a positive impact.

We at TIS believe that only when we challenge ourselves, explore our boundaries and connect with others, do we achieve our full potential. We are committed to making our IB Programme the best it can be so that we can provide our students with the personal, social, and academic foundation they need to be successful in whichever path they choose beyond high school. Our students are 21st Century learners, they are our future and best hope.

I am honored to be part of this rich educational opportunity for your offspring and to watch them grow into the model of a global citizen with the ability to collaborate, be creative, think critically, and communicate effectively.
Again, I want to welcome our 11th graders to the DP at Tashkent International School wishing everyone a great, fun and challenging year.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at dpcoord@tashschool.org.

Sincerely,

Rana Mneimneh
