IBDP - The Diploma Programme

---

At Greenfield College, we always seek the best for our students—not only in terms of academic programmes, but also for their holistic development, as this lies at the core of our school's vision and mission. This commitment is the driving force behind our adoption of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). The IBDP is not merely a prestigious label to display; it is central to our philosophy. It is more than a passport to international recognition—it embodies our belief in international mindedness. The programme is not simply about offering a choice of courses, but reflects our deep-rooted commitment to student agency. Ultimately, the IBDP is not just a curriculum of courses and content, but an approach that seeks to transform the way the world functions, inspiring us to contribute to reform and peace.

Greenfield College offers both the high school and the IBDP programmes at the secondary level. Students eligible for both programmes can choose from a wide range of offered courses that are listed below: 

• Group 1: English Language & Lit.A (SL & HL), Arabic A (SL &HL)
• Group 2: English B ( SL & HL), Arabic B (ab. Initio, SL & HL), French B (ab. Initio, SL,HL)
• Group 3: Geography (SL &HL), Business (SL), Environmental Systems and Societies(SL)
• Group 4: Biology (SL &HL), Chemistry (SL&HL), Physics (SL&HL), Environmental Systems & Societies (SL), Sports, Exercise & Health Sciences (SL, HL)
• Group 5: Math AI(SL &HL)
• Additionally, IB students take TOK, the Extended Essay, and follow a well-designed CAS programme.
• All IBDP students also benefit from the extra courses offered at GFC, notably: CS, Statistics, Robotics & Programming, SAT, and Life Skills.
• High school students are also offered other electives such as Psychology, Graphic Design, CS, Arts, and Music. 

The CAS Programme at GFC is the beating heart of our "PULSE".

Simply speaking, CAS is the way we learn when we don't know we are learning. Students design and create their own creativity, activity, and service experiences across their personal talents and goals. No two CAS portfolios ever look exactly the same because students embody the learner profile through their own choices and actions. Students complete a reflective portfolio showing their growth throughout 18 months of continuous CAS engagement. CAS is the beating heart of experiential learning in the Diploma Program.

 Our plan is designed to promote the attributes of the IB Learner Profile not only at the DP level, but starting much earlier, with pre-IBDP classes. By embedding these attributes from the beginning, we aim to ensure that students grow up thinking, learning, and acting with them in mind. The introduction of the school-designedcourses :SPS (social and personal skills) and TOT (Transformation of Thought), and our partnership with the Vocational school of Ard Jalloul to teach life skills marked key milestones in the development of this plan, strengthening its structure and ensuring continuity, depth, and long-term impact across all learning stages.
