Academic Integrity
"Academic integrity is a principle in education and a choice to act in a responsible way so others can trust us. It means conducting all aspects of your academic life in a responsible and ethical manner. The IB expects students to produce genuine and authentic pieces of work, that represent their own abilities. That is, the IB wants to support "content creators", not "content imitators". Students should give credit where credit is due—so be honest and transparent and recognize how previous work is influencing/supporting your own work."

As the above quote illustrates from the IB, at ISB are incredibly keen that all students through the two years are taught, supported and understand the ethical principles behind academic honesty.
Our policy outlines the main elements and ideas behind academic integrity, and this is introduced to all students in the Term 1 of their first DP year. All students also are involved in a series of workshops that looks at the principles and perils, the tools and techniques and how these both affect their studies and assessments in the IB Diploma.
