Christian Education for Grades 9-12
As an authorized IB World School, we challenge our students with our globally respected programme known for its depth and breadth. Whether pursuing the full IB Diploma or taking selected courses, our students are prepared for the demands of higher education and recognized as distinguished candidates by top universities worldwide.
Our distinctively Christian approach integrates a biblical worldview with every aspect of our curriculum, ensuring that students not only succeed academically but also develop moral and ethical discernment. From weekly chapel services and discipleship courses to community service and missions trips opportunities, we nurture a deep-rooted faith that empowers students to live purposefully and lead confidently.
The progression from the Middle Years Programme (MYP) through to the Diploma Programme (DP) provides a consistent framework and methodology across grade levels which helps students build on a familiar educational foundation.
Students learn to welcome God’s providence and influence in their lives and to discover the intersection of faith and learning in every area of their studies.
We are committed to an inclusive "IB for All" philosophy, aiming to ensure success for every student and family. We see others as image-bearers of God, and believe a student’s worth is not defined by a single test score.
Students are encouraged to see knowledge as an interrelated whole. The curriculum is designed to allow students to make connections between subjects and apply their understanding to solve complex problems, thereby developing their analytical and critical thinking skills.
The ATLs are designed to empower students to become self-regulated learners who can engage with complex challenges both inside and outside the classroom.
In the final year of the MYP, students undertake the Personal Project, which allows them to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they have acquired throughout the programme. This long-term project is an opportunity for students to explore an area of personal interest in depth, fostering independent learning and self-management skills which results in a process journal, a final product and a written report that stems from their own initiative and creativity.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme is structured to provide students with an in-depth, globally recognized academic experience over two years. Here’s a summary of the key features and components of the IB Diploma Programme at The Rock School:
We believe the best decision is made when both parents visit our campus, meet our leaders, and experience The Rock School first-hand.
