- Theory of Knowledge - A philosophical approach to understanding the nature of knowledge
- Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) - A programme of Arts, sports and community service

Students study one subject selected from each of the six different groups. Normally three subjects are studied at higher level and the remaining three are studied at standard level. All three core parts are compulsory and are central to the philosophy of the programme.
Course content
The International Baccalaureate Diploma has an interesting and broad-ranging academic content. All students must study the literature of their own language as well as English, humanities, mathematics and a science subject. In addition students will participate in voluntary community activities, sports and creative arts.
The objective of the course content is to ensure students gain experience in differing aspects of life that will enrich their own lives and encourage a broader outlook. With the programme, students receive a strong academic basis coupled with cultural based learning activities.
Assessment
At the end of the two year programme, students are assessed both internally and externally in order to measure individual performance against stated objectives for each subject.In nearly all subjects at least some of the assessment is carried out internally by EF Brittin Academy teachers, who mark individual pieces of work produced as part of a course of study.
Due to the greater degree of objectivity and reliability provided by the standard examination environment, externally marked examinations form the greatest share of the assessment for each subject in the programme.
EF International Academy in New York, Oxford and Torbay are IB World Schools, offering the IB Diploma Programme.
EF International Academy in Vancouver and Brisbane are schools interested in pursuing authorization as an IB World School* delivering the Diploma Programme. These are schools that share a common philosophy - a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that these schools believe is important for our students.
*Only schools authorized by the IB organization can offer any of its three academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), or the Diploma Programme. Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
