THE IB DIPLOMA PROGRAMME AT ST. PAUL

We would like to acknowledge that we are on sacred Indigenous territory and thank the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation for being the stewards of this land.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces, le Seigneur est avec vous; vous ętes bénie entre toutes les femmes, et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles, est béni. Sainte Marie, Mere de Dieu, priez pour nous pécheurs, maintenant, et l'heure de notre mort. Amen. Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Amen.

THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE Theory of Knowledge (TOK) aims to make students aware of the interpretative nature of knowledge, including personal ideological biases. TOK is assessed through an oral presentation and a 1,600 word essay . It asks students to reflect on the nature of knowledge, and on how we know what we claim to know. One hundred (100) hours required (requires also concurrency of learning).
