The International Baccalaureate Diploma at Li Po Chun United World
College of Hong Kong
Students attend Li Po Chun United World College for the final two years
of their secondary schooling and all students study for the International
Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, which requires that they study at least
six, but no more than seven subjects chosen, as outlined in The Academic
Programme, to cover a wide range of subject areas. A timetable is constructed
that allows the maximum number of students to take their preferred combination
of subjects. The students do not stay in the same class for all subjects,
hence an individual student will have a variety of class companions
in different subjects. The class sizes are small by Hong Kong standards,
usually averaging about 16 and all classes are of mixed ability; there
is no streaming.
In the IB system students can gain a maximum grade for each of their
six Diploma subjects, giving a total of 42 points. On top of this, students
can gain up to three extra points for their performance in the Theory
of Knowledge course and their Extended Essay (see The Academic Programme),
so that the maximum possible score for the IB diploma is 45 points.
In order to be awarded the Diploma, students must achieve a total of
at least 24 points with a good balance between their subjects. The results
achieved by students at the College are amongst the best in the world
and those achieved over recent years are summarised in the table below:
