IB Economics Tuition

Economics is the study of how individuals, firms, societies and government allocate scarce resources. It teaches us how to make informed decisions and make better choices with the limited resources we have.

The IB Economics program aims to encourage students to be knowledgeable, inquiring, caring and compassionate, and to develop intercultural understanding, open-mindedness and develop the attitudes necessary to respect and evaluate a range of viewpoints. This is consistent with the IB learner profile.
This course emphasizes on real world application of the economic theories. This is evident from the way the course is assessed.

Students can choose to take IB Economics at the Higher level (HL) or Standard level (SL).

HL students need to sit for paper 1, 2 and 3 and complete their Internal Assessment while SL students need to complete their Internal Assessment and sit for paper 1 and 2.
