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.
