Aligned with IB Diploma Computer Science for first assessment in 2027.
Computer fundamentals, networks, databases and machine learning.
Computational thinking, programming, object-oriented programming and, at HL, abstract data types.
Internal assessment: The computational solution, developed and documented by the student.
| Level | Paper 1 | Paper 2 | Internal assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| SL | 35% | 35% | 30% |
| HL | 40% | 40% | 20% |
| Week | Focus | Student outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Baseline, level and assessment map | Confirm SL/HL requirements, identify gaps and understand the Paper 1, Paper 2 and IA balance. |
| 2 | Theme A: computer fundamentals and networks | Build accurate explanations and apply concepts to new contexts. |
| 3 | Theme A: databases and machine learning | Connect data, database and machine-learning concepts, including ethical considerations. |
| 4 | Theme B: computational thinking and programming | Specify problems, construct solutions, trace code and debug systematically. |
| 5 | Theme B: OOP and HL extension | Apply object-oriented principles; for HL, address abstract data types and deeper syllabus demands. |
| 6 | Case-study thinking and timed response | Apply knowledge to original scenarios, improve extended responses and finalize revision priorities. |
