Chemistry IBH1 and IBH2 Grade 11, 12
Pre-requisites: 2 Science credits, one of which should be Grade 10 Chemistry, and a teacher
recommendation. In addition, a passing grade in Integrated Math 2 or equivalent is required.
2 years, 1 credit per year
This is an intensive two-year course preparing students for the IB Higher Level Chemistry
examination at the end of Grade 12. The course is designed for students with a particular
interest in and aptitude for Chemistry. Students who are planning to major in Chemistry or
a related field at the university level, such as medicine or biochemical sciences, are
strongly recommended to take this course. The students will be required to participate in
department organized field trips. Mathematical skills commensurate with geometry,
algebra and statistics are required.
Physics IBS1, IBS2 Grade 11, 12
Pre-requisite: 2 Science credits. In addition, a passing grade in Integrated Math 2 or
equivalent is required
2 years, 1 credit per year
This course follows the approach and syllabus relevant to IB Standard Level Physics and is a
two-year program. In the first year, the majority of the topics in the IB Core syllabus will
be covered. It is expected that all students progress to IBS2, in which the remaining core
topics and options are taught. IBS2 contains review segments in preparation for the
external examination which all students are required to take.
Physics IBH1 and IBH2 Grades 11, 12
Pre-requisite: 2 Science credits, one of which should be Grade 10 Physics, together
with a teacher recommendation. In addition current enrollment in an advanced Math
course (e.g., IB Math SL or IB Math HL) is also required.
2 years, 1 credit per year
This is an intensive two-year course preparing students for the IB Higher Level Physics
examination at the end of Grade 12. The course is designed for students with a particular
interest in and aptitude for Physics. Students who are planning to major in Physics during
college are strongly recommended to take this course. Strong mathematical skills are
important for success in this course.
Environmental Systems and Societies IBS1 and IBS2 Grade 11, 12
This course is only offered by the IB at Standard Level, though it can be counted
as either a Group 3 subject, a Group 4 subject, or both a Group 3 and 4 subject simultaneously.
Pre-requisite: 2 Science credits
2 years, 1 credit per year
This course follows the approach and syllabus relevant to IB Standard Level Environmental
Systems and Societies course and is a two year program. In the first year, approximately
60% of the syllabus will be covered. There is a compulsory field course in the first year. It
is expected that all students progress to IBS2, in which the remaining topics are taught.
