Course schedule

A World Class Program of Academic Excellence

Flathead High School was the first high school in Montana to offer a curriculum of world-class standards with the IB Diploma Programme.  A full IB Diploma candidate must take at least 3 higher level (HL) courses and 3 standard level (SL) courses during the junior and senior years. Students must also enroll in Theory of Knowledge (TOK) for two semesters; complete an Extended Essay, and fulfill the requirements of the CAS program (Creativity, Action, Service). In addition, students must meet the graduation requirements for FHS. Full IB diploma students should meet with the IB coordinator to make sure that their schedule meets all of the requirements.
