Two Semesters: Half Credit per semester<BR>
Grade Level: 11th & 12th  <BR>
Graduation Requirement: IB Diploma - TOK<BR>
Prerequisite: n/a<BR>

<p class="fontlook">The purpose of the Theory of Knowledge course is to provide the students with the critical skills necessary to examine claims to knowledge. The essential question of the course is: “How do I know that a given assertion is true or justifiable?” The course is structured around a nexus of questions requiring the students to investigate, support, and challenge knowledge claims in the subject disciplines that compose the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. The course methodology is based on a critical and rigorous reflection upon and evaluation of the content of human experience and the articulation of that experience in language which is clear, coherent, and systematic. Based on this articulated methodology, students experience, through a personal engagement, the process of analytical and critical thinking.
