The Extended Essay is an in-depth independent study. It is intended to promote high-level research and writing skills, intellectual discovery and creativity. It provides students with an opportunity to engage in personal research in a topic of their own choice, under the guidance of a supervising teacher. This leads to a major piece of formally presented, structured writing, in which ideas and findings are communicated in a reasoned and coherent manner, appropriate to the subject chosen.

At BIS Abu Dhabi, we believe that the Extended Essay is an integral and valuable learning experience that prepares students for study at university and beyond.

The Extended Essay is one of the three core elements of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) that students study in Years 12 and 13.
