What courses do students take in the Middle Years program?
As 9th graders, all students take English, Math (Geometry), Social Studies (called Humanities by the IB), a Foreign Language (Spanish, French, or Chinese ab initio [beginning]), Biology, a single semester Arts class (Theatre or Visual Arts), and a single semester of Physical Education. During the sophomore year, students continue their core subjects, with Chemistry replacing Biology, and a single semester Technology and Design class replacing the Arts class. Students also have room in their schedules for traditional, non-IB electives such as Student Government, Journalism, Music (choir or band), Yearbook etc.
