IDEATE
Diploma Program Course Outlines
The IDEATE ( ID8 ) program was designed with a future-focus on what students need to thrive in an ever-changing world . BCIS recognised that traditional education focuses on what students have been taught rather than what they can do with the skills they ’ ve developed in a wide variety of contexts . Our world is volatile , uncertain , complex and ambiguous which is why IDEATE wraps its program around students ’ need . Each course focuses on students ’ potential to transfer what they ’ ve learned into meaningful experiences .
BCIS believes students need to approach dilemmas and opportunities with the ability to apply different disciplinary lenses to design an effective course of action through projects . Breaking out of the strict subject area model allows students to explore concepts and issues from a variety of disciplinary lenses .
IDEATE courses provide students with a high degree of self-direction and personalization to help students make a case for their unique experiences and abilities .
IDEATE students can take up to 3 IB courses as part of the IDEATE program . You can find a list of the IB courses in our BCIS High School Diploma & Course Descriptions .
