Courses

• Diploma-pathway students take courses in six content groups in grades 11 and 12. Most courses run across both years; a few can finish in one.
• Three or four courses are HL and two or three are SL. HL classes mean more class time and room for exploration, so students can emphasize their strengths and interests.
• Diploma candidates also take the IB Core in both years: TOK, the Extended Essay, and 18 months of CAS.
• Students earn one extra quality point for each course designated IB on the transcript, and the schedule leaves room for one or two non-IB courses a year, such as graduation requirements or electives.
