Mandarin in the IB Diploma

In some schools where the IB is awarded, there may be an option of taking Mandarin as one of the 2 languages that form part of the Diploma syllabus.  Mandarin is an option in the 'Second Language' subject groups. Depending on the students experience/level, Mandarin can be studied at one of 3 levels:

Ab initio - for beginners who have no previous experience of Mandarin. Standard level only
Language B - for students who have had some previous experience of learning Mandarin They may be studied at either higher level or standard level.
Language A2 - students who have a high level of competence in the language they have chosen. They include the study of both language and literature, and are available at higher level and standard level.

Overview (of whole Diploma including non-language elements)
Students must study six subjects chosen from the six subject groups and complete an extended essay. They must follow a theory of knowledge course and participate in creativity, action, service. In most cases three of the six subjects are studied at higher level (courses representing 240 teaching hours).
The remaining three subjects are studied at standard level courses (representing 150 teaching hours).
