Biology HL Prerequisite: IB Biology SL   Credit: 1

IB Biology HL is the second year continuation of the first year of IB Biology SL. Topics include the study of nucleic acids, metabolism, plant biology, animal physiology, genetics, and evolution. The course builds a deeper understanding and provides additional applications of topics covered in IB Biology SL. Students are prepared for the IB Biology HL exam.

Biology SL Prerequisite: Biology and Chemistry   Credit: 1

IB Biology SL is the study of general biological principles as well as more specialized biological sciences. Cell and molecular biology, genetics, ecology, evolution, biodiversity, human physiology, and aspects of adaptation are integrated within the course. This course prepares students for the IB Biology SL exam; students continuing on to IB Biology HL take the IB Biology HL exam and not the SL exam.

Chemistry HL Prerequisite: IB Chemistry SL   Credit: 1

IB Chemistry HL is a second year continuation of the IB Chemistry SL. It builds to provide a deeper understanding and additional applications of the topics covered in IB Chemistry SL. Topics include matter, its interactions, and energy of matter. Some additional topics are thermochemistry, chemical bonding, kinetics equilibrium and electrochemistry. This course prepares the student for the IB Chemistry HL exam.

Chemistry SL Prerequisite: Biology and Chemistry   Credit: 1

IB Chemistry SL focuses on matter, its interactions, and the energy that accompany matter. Some topics included are thermochemistry, chemical bonding, kinetic, equilibrium, electrochemistry, and organics. This course prepares students for the IB Chemistry SL exam; students continuing on to IB Chemistry HL will take the Chemistry HL exam at the end of their senior year and not the SL exam.

Computer Science HL Prerequisite: Computer Science IB SL   Credit: 1

IB Computer Science HL is the second year course for the IB Computer Science HL exam. This course has five main goals: developing advanced software engineering skills in the Java programming language; teach advanced data structures such as linked lists, trees, classes, and data files; expose students to the development and analysis of classic computer algorithms such as sorting, searching, recursion, and numerical analysis; recognize the ethical and social implications of computer use; and teach computer systems fundamentals and computer architecture. Students will study number systems and representations; Boolean logic with truth tables and logic circuits; systems fundamentals (processing configuration, disk storage, operating systems, network fundamentals, file organization); and external sorts, binary (random access) files. The course prepare students for the IB Computer Science HL exam.

Computer Science SL Prerequisite: Algebra II   Credit: 1

IB Computer Science SL is an introduction to computers and the study of managing and processing information. The emphasis is on solving  problems by means of computer programming (software engineering). Students will learn the Java programming language and apply those skills to explore how computers work. Some topics covered include object-oriented techniques, file management, data structures, classes, objects, graphics, debugging, hardware components, and social implications. The IB course prepares students for the IB Computer Science SL exam.

Environmental Science SL Environmental Systems SL/HL First exam May 2026 Prerequisite: Algebra I, Biology, Chemistry   Credit: 1

The IB Environmental Systems and Societies SL course will provide students with scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze the environmental problems both natural and human-made, to evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and to examine alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing them. IB Environmental Systems and Societies SL is interdisciplinary; it embraces a wide variety of topics from different areas of study. There are several major unifying constructs, or themes, that cut across the many topics included in the study of environmental science. This course prepares the student to take the IB Environmental Systems SL exam.

Physics HL Prerequisite: IB Physics SL and Pre-Calculus   Credit: 1

IB Physics SL is a second year continuation of the first year of IB Physics SL. It provides a deeper understanding and additional application of the topics covered in the first year IB Physics SL. IB Physics HL is a basic introduction to AC current, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, digital technology, with an expansion on modern physics with a section on modern communication. Students must build and submit a lab portfolio from both years for external moderation. This course prepares the student to take the IB Physics HL exam.

Physics SL Prerequisite: Algebra I, Geometry, and two credits of science   Credit: 1

IB Physics SL is a two semester sequential study of physical principles which govern the behavior of matter. It includes mechanics, electricity, magnetism, thermodynamics, kinetic theory, electromagnetic radiation, optics, and atomic and nuclear physics. This course prepares the student for the IB Physics SL exam; students continuing on to IB Physics HL will take the Physics HL exam at the end of their senior year and not the SL exam.
