Greensprings IB Diploma Students Get Scholarships Worth $4.7m

Why IB Diploma Students Stand Out

Speaking on the achievement, the Dean of the IB Diploma Programme at Greensprings School, Mr. Olubunmi Solola, noted that this is the second time the school's students have won multi-million-dollar international scholarships. He explained that beyond academic subjects, the two-year programme equips students with vital life skills such as time management, discipline, and confidence.

The IB Diploma curriculum is built around three core elements that prepare students for university life:

  • Theory of Knowledge (TOK): Helps students reflect critically on the nature of knowledge and how we know what we claim to know.
  • The Extended Essay: An independent, self-directed research project culminating in a 4,000-word academic paper.
  • Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS): A practical community service and personal development project.

Students seeking admission into the two-year IB Diploma Programme must possess at least five (5) O'Level credit passes in GCSEs, IGCSEs, or WASSCE.
