The High School program at SSIS combines a rigorous academic curriculum with a wide selection of activities that are aimed at challenging and motivating the young adult. Students in Grade 9 and Grade 10 are given the opportunity to complete the MYP (Middle Years Programme) where they study in eight curriculum areas. Providing students with such a broad and balanced educational program and making connections between these subjects is a integral part of the early high school years and re-enforces the IB learner profile as well as provides a solid foundation for the final two years in High School.
Students entering Grade 11 are given the option of enrolling in either the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma program or the High School Diploma program. The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program is a vigorous pre-university course of studies which leads to examinations that meet the needs of highly motivated students between the ages of 16 and 19 years. Designed as a comprehensive two-year curriculum, it allows its’ graduates to fulfill the requirement of various national education systems and is highly respected by world class post-secondary institutions.
The High School Diploma program (HSD) offers students in grade 11 the opportunity to study the main subject areas as well as several options. The HSD is aimed at students who require an alternative to the IBDP program and therefore offers a variety of one year courses.
