Choosing your subjects

Interests

Future Aspirations

Over the two years, the HL program will take 240 hours and the SL program will take 180 hours to complete. It is important that the subjects you choose are subjects that you want to spend time working on.

It is important that you consider your future aspirations. Ask yourself, do you have a particular goal in mind with regards to where you want to study in the future or what you want to study. Do some research. Talk to the college office.

Program Approval

Generally speaking, students will need to be consistently achieving in the B range in order to continue with a subject at higher level. Ms El-Taha also collects teacher recommendations. Based on the recommendations and grades, you will receive a letter with one of the following outcomes:

1) Approved

2) Approved with conditions - e.g. additional summer work

3) Academic Probation - e.g. regular meetings to check progress and/or grade requirements

4) Not approved.

Choices

Each student will choose 3 higher levels and 3 standard levels.

All classes except languages and maths are combined in grade 11. Levels of classes will be confirmed in January of grade 11. Subjects can not be changed after the end of September of grade 11.

Choose one subject from English, Languages, Humanities, Sciences and Maths.

The sixth subject can be from Arts, Languages, Humanities or Sciences.
