TOK

Theory of Knowledge is an elemental part of the International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme (DP), in that it provides an opportunity for students to reflect on the nature of knowledge and how we know what we claim to know. You know?

Weekly, students will be given an image and/or prompt and expected to analyze a real-life situation then write meaningful content based on their interpretation of what they know they see.

I hope you enjoy peeking into the windows of their souls!

Theory of Knowledge

"How do I know what I know? I question everything and everyone. I question my existence. I question my government. I question my teacher. I question myself. I question my mama." ~dm
