The emphasis of the Philosophy course is on "doing philosophy", that is, on actively engaging students in philosophical activity. The course is focused on stimulating students' intellectual curiosity and encouraging them to examine both their own perspectives and those of others.
All students study a compulsory core theme entitled "Being Human", which provides an opportunity to explore the fundamental question of what it is to be human. Students taking Philosophy at SL are required to study one additional theme from a list of seven options, and students taking Philosophy at HL are required to study two additional themes from the same list. Students are also required to study one text from the "IB list of prescribed philosophical texts", which includes texts from authors as diverse as Plato, Lao Tzu, and Martha Nussbaum.

The Psychology course involves the systematic study of behaviour and mental processes, and examines the interaction of biological, cognitive and sociocultural influences on human behaviour. Students undertaking the course can expect to develop an understanding of how psychological knowledge is generated, developed and applied. This will allow them to have a greater understanding of themselves and appreciate the diversity of human behaviour.

The Social and Cultural Anthropology course allows students to explore and understand humankind in all its diversity through the comparative study of culture and human societies. Through this course students come to appreciate how anthropology as a discipline contributes to an understanding of contemporary issues such as war and conflict, the environment, poverty, injustice, inequality and human and cultural rights. The study of Social and Cultural Anthropology offers critical insight into the continuities as well as dynamics of social change and the development of societies, and challenges cultural assumptions.
