Gallery: Extended Essay Showcase
At Somersfield Academy, students are encouraged to ask meaningful questions, think critically, and take ownership of their learning. The EE brings those values into sharp focus. It asks students to move beyond set tasks and pursue an area of genuine interest, shaping their own research question and managing a sustained academic project from start to finish.
The process reflects what a Somersfield education aims to cultivate: intellectual curiosity, principled research, resilience, and thoughtful reflection. Students must analyse evidence carefully, consider different perspectives, and communicate their ideas with clarity and integrity.
In this way, the Extended Essay is not simply an IB requirement. It is a natural extension of the habits of mind and independence that are central to the Somersfield experience.
