The Extended Essay (known as the ‘EE’), together with CAS and TOK, is a core component of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, and is mandatory for all students, regardless of the subjects they are taking. The aim of the EE is to provide students with the opportunity to research a topic of their interest and showcase their knowledge and reading beyond the classroom syllabus. IB DP students begin working on their Extended Essay during their junior year and submit the completed document in January of their senior year. 

Current DP students will find their timeline, due dates, and other resources to support their EE journey on their EE Canvas page.
