Subject Choice
Choosing which subjects to take for your IB Diploma is done as soon as you start at King Edward’s School, Witley - but don’t worry!

The IB Team and teaching staff will be on hand to help you make your decisions by providing information on the subjects themselves, and giving you some idea about what could be useful for potential university courses, if you’re already thinking that far ahead!
The best part is, if you start a subject and change your mind - that’s ok! In the first couple of weeks we expect that a subject may not be how you expected, or you’ve since learned that a particular university prefers something other than what you’ve chosen, and we will do our absolute best to accommodate you.
