Creativity. Expression.
Identity.
In the spirit of the IB curriculum, the arts are an essential part of how students learn to observe, feel, create, and understand the world.
At Genesis College, Art & Culture means interdisciplinary exploration, critical thinking, and the development of a personal voice.

The Arts in the IB Programme – Identity, Culture, and Critical Thinking
The arts are deeply integrated into the IB curriculum. Students are encouraged to:
- Explore diverse cultural themes
- Ask questions, investigate, and reflect
- Create work that is meaningful and personally relevant
- Understand art as a means of interpreting the world
Personal Project (IB MYP) – Applied Creativity
In the 10th grade, each student develops a Personal Project, a unique piece of work centred on their interests. Projects include:
- Functional robots
- Films
- Video games
- Architectural models
- Educational programmes
- Art installations
- Visual portfolios
- Interdisciplinary STEM projects
It is one of the most powerful IB experiences, a genuine exercise in autonomy, identity, reflection and creative leadership.
We integrate art and culture into the educational experience to support students’ emotional, creative, and intellectual development.
