Individuals & Societies Department

The Individuals & Societies Department (I&S), commonly known as the Social Studies Department, serves the students at Washtenaw International High School in Ypsilanti, Michigan. We offer the Middle Years Program (MYP) in 6th through 10th grade, using the Michigan state curriculum to deliver the MYP curriculum. In the 11th and 12th grades, students transition to the Diploma Program (DP), making students eligible to receive the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. The Individuals & Societies program is the Group 3 component of the IB DP Curriculum. Starting in the 2021-2022 school year, students will be able to choose which path they wish to complete the Group 3 curriculum for the IB Diploma: History, Global Politics, Economics or Psychology.
