Regarding curriculum, IP and IB are opposed to one another. Under IB, the programme is more comprehensive, covering all six academic topic groups and the three IB-core exams. Most students in IP-JC will be placed in the "Science" and "Art" streams, with a cap on the number of electives that can be selected from the other "basket" of courses. Language Acquisition, Studies in Language and Literature, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, and the Arts are required of students, unlike the IP-JC route. The IB-core exams are the Extended Essay, a 3000-word research project, the Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), and Theory of Knowledge.
