The IB program is often considered more challenging than traditional high school programs due to its rigorous academic requirements and emphasis on critical thinking and research skills. The program is designed to prepare students for university-level work and requires students to complete a wide range of coursework, including the Theory of Knowledge course, Extended Essay, and Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) component. However, the difficulty of the program may vary depending on the student’s strengths, interests, and prior academic experience. It is important for students to carefully consider their goals and abilities before deciding whether or not to pursue the IB program.
