Chemistry IBH1 and IBH2 Grade 11, 12<br />

Pre-requisites: 2 Science credits, one of which should be Grade 10 Chemistry, and a teacher<br />

recommendation. In addition, a passing grade in Integrated Math 2 or equivalent is required.<br />

2 years, 1 credit per year<br />

This is an intensive two-year course preparing students for the IB Higher Level Chemistry<br />

examination at the end of Grade 12. The course is designed for students with a particular<br />

interest in and aptitude for Chemistry. Students who are planning to major in Chemistry or<br />

a related field at the university level, such as medicine or biochemical sciences, are<br />

strongly recommended to take this course. The students will be required to participate in<br />

department organized field trips. Mathematical skills commensurate with geometry,<br />

algebra and statistics are required.<br />

Physics IBS1, IBS2 Grade 11, 12<br />

Pre-requisite: 2 Science credits. In addition, a passing grade in Integrated Math 2 or<br />

equivalent is required<br />

2 years, 1 credit per year<br />

This course follows the approach and syllabus relevant to IB Standard Level Physics and is a<br />

two-year program. In the first year, the majority of the topics in the IB Core syllabus will<br />

be covered. It is expected that all students progress to IBS2, in which the remaining core<br />

topics and options are taught. IBS2 contains review segments in preparation for the<br />

external examination which all students are required to take.<br />

Physics IBH1 and IBH2 Grades 11, 12<br />

Pre-requisite: 2 Science credits, one of which should be Grade 10 Physics, together<br />

with a teacher recommendation. In addition current enrollment in an advanced Math<br />

course (e.g., IB Math SL or IB Math HL) is also required.<br />

2 years, 1 credit per year<br />

This is an intensive two-year course preparing students for the IB Higher Level Physics<br />

examination at the end of Grade 12. The course is designed for students with a particular<br />

interest in and aptitude for Physics. Students who are planning to major in Physics during<br />

college are strongly recommended to take this course. Strong mathematical skills are<br />

important for success in this course.<br />

Environmental Systems and Societies IBS1 and IBS2 Grade 11, 12<br />

This course is only offered by the IB at Standard Level, though it can be counted<br />

as either a Group 3 subject, a Group 4 subject, or both a Group 3 and 4 subject simultaneously.<br />

Pre-requisite: 2 Science credits<br />

2 years, 1 credit per year<br />

This course follows the approach and syllabus relevant to IB Standard Level Environmental<br />

Systems and Societies course and is a two year program. In the first year, approximately<br />

60% of the syllabus will be covered. There is a compulsory field course in the first year. It<br />

is expected that all students progress to IBS2, in which the remaining topics are taught.<br />
