At Greenfield Community School, an IB World School, we believe every child is entitled to a first class education, in excellent facilities, with outstanding educators, celebrating diversity, showing respect for and integration with our host country, developing global mindedness and strong values, through a gold standard international curriculum by offering the International Baccalaureate Programmes.

International Baccalaureate Curriculum overview

The Primary Years Programme (PYP), for students aged from 3 through 11, offers an integrated curriculum enabling students to learn through guided exploration and structured inquiry.  Students are taught to understand how they learn best as individuals, and to develop a genuine love of learning.  In addition to establishing firm foundations in good learning habits, we educate our students in global issues, including environmental, diversity and cultural understanding, and all our students learn Arabic. The emphasis is on the education of the whole child: emotionally, physically and intellectually.


The Middle Years Programme (MYP), for students aged from 11 through 16, builds on from the knowledge, skills and attitudes to learning, developed during the PYP.  Traditional academic subjects are offered: Mathematics, English, Arabic, Science, Humanities, Technology, Art, Drama, additional languages such as French, German, and Physical Education.  These create a well-balanced curriculum, which is then supported by the areas of interaction of approaches to learning, community and service, homo faber (the creativity of humankind), environment, health and social education, which permeate through the academic studies.  The MYP is an excellent preparation for the IB Diploma Programme.


The Diploma Programme (DP), for students aged from 16 to 18+, is a challenging, international education programme, preparing students for life after school, including entrance to the world's leading universities.  As well as studying six academic subjects, students develop themselves personally and academically through the Theory of Knowledge classes; Creativity, Action and Service commitments: and the challenges of extended essay writing.

The IB Career-related Certificate (IBCC) incorporates the educational principles, vision and learner profile of the IB into a unique offering that specifically addresses the needs of students who wish to engage in career-related education. The IBCC encourages these students to benefit from elements of an IB education, through a selection of two or more Diploma Programme courses in addition to a unique IBCC core, comprised of an approaches to learning (ATL) course, a reflective project, a language development course and community and service. This new qualification is designed to provide a "value added" educational offering to schools that already offer the IB Diploma Programme and are also delivering career-related courses to their students.

The IBCC enables schools to widen participation to an IB education. Schools retain the ability to choose the career-related courses that are most suited to local conditions and the needs of their students. Schools gain the added flexibility in direct curriculum development as well as the IBCC core to create an educational pathway that puts a strong focus on individual student needs
