Globe Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 At my school, pretty much everyone going for the diploma has to take the same courses, as we only offer Math SL, Physics SL, English HL, Bio HL, Film SL and HL, English HL, History SL/HL, Spanish SL and Env. Studies SL. (this is only our 3rd year of offering IB)It aggravates me as I want to go into evo devo and neuropsych so a Philosophy or Psychology HL course would be awesome. Or even Chem HL, I love chemistry.Does your school offer every IB course? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not very satisfied with the courses they offer in individuals and society though, they lack a lot of depth in choices.. but then again we also lack teaching experience in those specific subjects.

Teaching experience isn't the problem with my school. Just most of our teachers have yet to get certified for their respective IB courses, so we can't offer them at the IB level yet. We have a huge psychology room with a nursery and whatnot but the teacher isn't certified yet :/ Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsubaki Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Group 1: English A1 HL.Group 2: French B HL (For immersion students), Italian Ab Initio. We used to offer French B SL, but that was discontinued.Group 3: History (Europe) HL.Group 4: Biology SL (though in practice, the whole Biology class generally takes HL), Biology HL, Chemistry SL, Chemistry HL.Group 5: Maths SLGroup 6: Music SL. Music HL is offered when an exceptionally able student wants to take it. This has happened twice so far, to my knowledge. Oh, I believe Theatre Arts SL was offered for one year, but the one who taught that vowed never to teach it again because of the paperwork.My school has kind of biased their courses toward students who prefer the humanities and social sciences more than sciences, which really bothered me because I should not have been taking History HL, and I had wanted to take Physics HL instead of Biology, and Maths HL instead of SL. But, I had to live with what was offered, and my school's AP courses almost made up for the lack of IB choices (although I couldn't get into Calculus AB, so I have no math credits going into university.)
