BSS is the first school in Bulgaria to offer the IB Career-Related Programme
After fulfilling all requirements of the International Baccalaureate British School of Sofia is the first school in Bulgaria to offer the IB Career-Related Programme. Here is the Accreditation letter.
As an IB World School offering the CP, now we are a part of a global community of schools committed to developing knowledgeable, caring young people who will be ready to negotiate their future successfully and make contributions resulting in more harmonious and peaceful world.
The CP is a framework of international education that incorporates the values of the IB into a unique programme addressing the needs of students engaged in career-related education.
The Career Programme (CP) allows students to combine their academic subjects with their non-academic interests and skills while allowing access further education, apprenticeships and employment in areas such as business, IT, health care, sports, and many others.
CP students undertake a minimum of two IB Diploma Programme (DP) courses, a core consisting of four components and a career-related study.
Students take written examinations at the end of their IB Diploma Programme courses which are marked by external IB examiners. The components of the CP core are assessed by the school.
The CP was specifically developed for students who wish to engage in career-related learning while gaining transferable and lifelong skills in applied knowledge, critical thinking, communication, and cross-cultural engagement.
Core Elements of IB CP
Personal and professional skills - students develop attitudes, skills and strategies, that are transferable, to be applied to personal and professional situations and contexts now and in the future.
Reflective Project - students identify, analyse, critically discuss and evaluate an ethical issue arising from their career-related studies.
Service learning - in this research-based approach, Service learning is the development and application of knowledge and skills towards meeting an identified and authentic community need.
Language Development - to communicate in more than one language is essential to IB’s concept of international education. Language development encourages students to improve their proficiency in a language other than their best.
