Subject selection in the IB Programme

Pre-DP stu­dents choo­se their IB sub­jects in Ja­nu­a­ry. The gra­de point ave­ra­ge should be mi­ni­mum 8 in HL sub­jects and 7 in SL sub­jects by the end of the pre-DP year. In ad­di­ti­on, stu­dent’s mo­ti­va­ti­on is im­por­tant to be strong. Pre-IB stu­dents may choo­se to re­pe­at one app­ro­ved cour­se in the fourth pe­ri­od. The cour­se is an in­de­pen­dent cour­se and must be ag­reed upon with the te­ac­her of the sub­ject in qu­es­ti­on.
