Showing academic excellence through a research essay or project has become a necessary expectation today for high schoolers. Research in the discipline area of a student’s choice helps them demonstrate higher order critical thinking skills, independent learning and applying problem solving techniques. It also allows students to position themselves well in university applications.

Highly competitive universities value evidence of a student’s passion for their subject. The benefits of these skills are recognized when they progress to university and the workplace, and are expected to be able to manage their workloads and competing priorities.

Courseleap identifies academic writing skills and research as an important aspect of building students academic profile. Through various programmes courses, we devise tasks and strategies that help students to:

• Identify a suitable research topic
• Devise, justify and develop an appropriate research question
• Carry out the research, using appropriate research methods
• Follow  appropriate academic conventions for writing 

Our master teachers are researchers themselves and have a long experience of working in international programmes. They help students develop skills for their IB research tasks, for example the Internal Assessments and Extended Essays and lend advice on how to  address the criteria for these tasks effectively. 

* The CourseLeap faculty prides itself on promoting high standards of academic honesty. 

* As part of our school consulting services, we also run workshops for schools guiding teachers on how to support their students in the self-led component of their research assessments.
