Theory of Knowledge (TOK) – Understanding How We Know

TOK encourages students to think critically about knowledge across subjects like science, history, and the arts, asking deep questions about evidence and truth. It builds reflection and open-mindedness, culminating in a TOK Exhibition that connects learning to real-life perspectives.

"What counts as good evidence for a claim?"

"Are some types of knowledge more open to interpretation?"

"How do our perspectives and biases shape our understanding?"

History
Sciences
Mathematics
The Arts
