WFS Class of 2026 IB Diploma Candidates Showcase Their Journey
Last night, WFS honored the Class of 2026 International Baccalaureate Diploma candidates during the annual Celebration of Scholarship.
Each student delivered a 3–5 minute presentation reflecting on their growth through the program’s core components: Theory of Knowledge, Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS), and the Extended Essay.
In total, these students completed an extraordinary 405 unique pieces of individual scholarship—ranging from essays and investigations to presentations and creative projects—demonstrating both the breadth and depth of their academic journey. The evening highlighted the intellectual curiosity, dedication, and thoughtful inquiry that define the IB experience at Wilmington Friends School.
