WELCOME TO THE HIGH SCHOOL
This Course Offerings Manual has been developed to assist you in planning a High School
program that meets your individual needs, interests and goals for further education. It
describes the courses that the High School may offer in the 2012- 2013 academic year.
Students should take some time to carefully study the course descriptions, graduation
requirements and related information contained in this manual. In order to select the
appropriate courses, it will also be necessary to consult with your parents, counselor, the
International Baccalaureate (IB) Coordinator and the relevant teachers. It is very
important students make subject choices that are well researched and that suit their
future educational aspirations. The High School program is rich and extensive. We highly
recommend that students use this manual and select subjects that will give them a wellbalanced
yet challenging program. It is vital that we get accurate data from our students
to schedule appropriately.
The inclusion of a course description in this manual does not guarantee that the course
will be offered or will necessarily fit into the student’s schedule. The scheduling of a
course is often dependent on a minimum number of students wishing to take it and the
most effective utilization of teachers in particular subject areas and courses. In addition,
the school reserves the right to cancel any course for administrative reasons.
For your convenience, course descriptions are also available on our guidance section of
the website at: www.ismanila.org
