International Baccalaureate

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is an integrated sixth form course that students can opt to take instead of the conventional A-level course. The IB means taking six subjects, which includes English, a second language, a humanity, a science and Maths. In addition a core curriculum is followed which includes an Extended Essay in their preferred subject; a course in the Theory of Knowledge plus the successful completion of a programme of Creativity, Action and Service (CAS). The course is spread over over two years meaning that IB students take their only examinations in Year 13.

The current list of subjects taught at MGS is:

Students pick one subject from each group and take three at higher level and the other three at standard level.
