Biology IB HL (12)
Students study the topics Statistical Analysis, Cells, The Chemistry of Life, Genetics, Ecology and Evolution, Human Health and Physiology, Nucleic Acids and Proteins, Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis, and Plant Science. Additionally students study two of five optional units. The options are Evolution, Neurobiology and Behaviour, Microbes and Biotechnology, Ecology and Conservation and Further Human Physiology.  Students develop the skills to analyse and communicate scientific information. Students develop laboratory skills by designing and carrying out experiments. There are two components to the course grade.  The I.B. Examinations (76%) and the internally assessed, externally moderated Internal Assessment of laboratory reports (24%).

Biology IB SL (12)
Students study the topics Statistical Analysis, Cells, The Chemistry of Life, Genetics, Ecology and Evolution, and Human Health and Physiology. Additionally students study two of seven optional units. The options are Human Nutrition and Health, Physiology of Exercise, Cells and Energy, Evolution, Neurobiology and Behaviour, and Microbes and Biotechnology. Students develop the skills to analyse and communicate scientific information. Students develop laboratory skills by designing and carrying out experiments. There are two components to the course grade.  The I.B. public Examinations contribute 76% of the grade.  The remaining 24% is for the internally assessed, externally moderated Internal Assessment of laboratory reports.
Course Timeline and Assessment

Chemistry IB HL (12)
Students complete the core topics with a unit on Organic Chemistry.  They then complete two optional topics from the following:  an introduction to Human Biochemistry, Chemistry in Industry and Technology, Medicines and Drugs, Environmental Chemistry, Food Chemistry, or additional study topics of Organic Chemistry or Analytical Chemistry. During this year they will develop their laboratory skills by designing and carrying out experiments and by processing the associated results. A considerable part of the year is devoted to examination preparation and the refinement of the skills which will be needed when sitting the final examination. There are two components to the course grade.  The I.B. public Examinations contribute 76% of the grade.  The remaining 24% is for the internally assessed, externally moderated Internal Assessment of laboratory reports.

Chemistry IB SL (12)
Students first study the properties of Acids and Bases and how they are used industrially.  Students then explore the world of Electrochemistry in learning what it takes to create different types of chemical and electrical cells.  Students then work on understanding Organic Chemistry, in studying how plastics, oils, and alcohols are used, created, and chemically reacted to make everyday products.  Options that students may choose for further study include: an introduction to Human Biochemistry, Chemistry in Industry and Technology, Medicines and Drugs, Environmental Chemistry, Food Chemistry, or additional study topics of Organic Chemistry or Analytical Chemistry.
