Courses
INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE
The IB programme is a highly-regarded academic course of study, which requires students to develop high standards of academic achievement, while also developing the transferrable skills required by both Universities and Employers.
Is the IB Diploma Programme for me?
• Are you an internationally-minded person who would like to make the most of global opportunities?
• Do you think that you would like to keep up a wide range of subject options rather than going down to just 4 AS levels?
• Do you wish to have your non-academic achievements such as music, dance, drama, sport and voluntary work rewarded?
• Do you want to take a qualification which is highly regarded not only by the top UK universities and employers but by higher education institutions and companies around the world?
If so, the IB could be for you. There are more than 711,000 IB students at 2,617 schools in 135 countries. At Ashton Sixth Form College, you could become one of them.
How to apply?
There will be further details of how to apply for the International Baccaleureate here from September 2010. If in the meantime you require any further information please contact our International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Coordinator, Adrian Bettley on 0161 330 2330 or apb@asfc.ac.uk

Course content
The programme that we intend to offer will consist of the following:
• Core units
• Theory of knowledge – learning how you learn, to allow students to fully engage with their work and gain a deeper insight into questioning and learning.
• Extended Essay – an essay on a subject of their choice, to allow students to demonstrate their ability to write an extended piece of work, carry out independent research and formulate their ideas
• CAS – creativity, action, service. The Creativity can be an artistic piece or the design of a project. Action can be sporting activities, outward-bound activities or other varied activities. Service can be a local or international community project (can related to the creativity section).
