What courses should students be taking prior to their Junior year?
Honors/pre-IB courses are recommended preparation for most HL exams. Algebra I and a first year of a world language in Middle school are therefore recommended. Students studying at the Advanced Level in freshman & sophomore years can take SL exams in Math, World Languages, Environmental Science, Psychology, Economics, and the Arts. Art I should be taken freshman year if a student expects to take an SL or HL in Visual Arts. (For more on HL in Visual Arts see the West Morris Mendham IH/HL Art page.
