This course provides students with opportunities to acquire knowledge related to team and individual sports such as: athletics, tennis, basketball, soccer, swimming. Grade 6 students will be also able to develop their physical fitness and acquire knowledge of health-related fitness throughout their participation in this course.
This course has been designed to contain the fundamental notions of the subject of ICT for grades 6,7 and 8 students.
The MS Visual Arts program in Grade 6 is focused on the role of the teacher as a mentor/educator to expose students to a variety of artistic media and ideas and to further develop their skills in art-making and creative problem-solving. Throughout the year, we will examine the color theory, elements/principles of art, painting, sculptural skills, and art appreciation. The Grade 6 Visual Arts curriculum is designed to help students to understand creativity, key terminology, whilst following the design process from concept to presentation. Students will feel comfortable enough to take risks in order to create artwork that speaks to who they are. This opportunity will help students decide which area they want to pursue in art as they move up to higher levels.
Grade 6 First
Language students start to develop literacy skills in language and literature.
They study fiction prose, drama, and poetry. They begin to build their
awareness of global issues and the impact of culture and context on texts.

Course Description English A: Language and Literature consists of studying the complex and dynamic nature of language and exploring both its practical and aesthetic dimensions. The course will explore the crucial role language plays in communication, reflecting experience and shaping the world, and the roles of individuals themselves as producers of language. Throughout the course, students will explore the various ways in which language choices, text types, literary forms and contextual elements all affect meaning. Through close analysis of various text types and literary forms, students will consider their own interpretations, as well as the critical perspectives of others, to explore how such positions are shaped by cultural belief systems and to negotiate meanings for texts. The aims of studies in language and literature courses are to enable students to: · engage with a range of texts, in a variety of media and forms, from different periods, styles and cultures · develop skills in listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, presenting and performing · develop skills in interpretation, analysis and evaluation · develop sensitivity to the formal and aesthetic qualities of texts and an appreciation of how they contribute to diverse responses and open up multiple meanings · develop an understanding of relationships between texts and a variety of perspectives, cultural contexts, and local and global issues, and an appreciation of how they contribute to diverse responses and open up multiple meanings · develop an understanding of the relationships between studies in language and literature and other disciplines · communicate and collaborate in a confident and creative way · foster a lifelong interest in and enjoyment of language and literature. |
Psychology is the rigorous and systematic study of mental processes and behaviour. It is a complex subject which draws on concepts, methods and understandings from a number of different disciplines. There is no single approach that would describe or explain mental processes and behaviour on its own as human beings are complex, with highly developed frontal lobes, cognitive abilities, involved social structures and cultures.
Mathematics: applications and interpretation is for students who are
interested in developing their mathematics for describing our world and
solving practical problems. They will also be interested in harnessing
the power of technology alongside exploring mathematical models.
Students who take Mathematics: applications and interpretation will be
those who enjoy mathematics best when seen in a practical context.
Economics is an exciting, dynamic subject that allows students to develop an understanding of the complexities and interdependence of economic activities in a rapidly changing world.
At the heart of economic theory is the problem of scarcity. While the world’s population has unlimited needs and wants, there are limited resources to satisfy these needs and wants. As a result of this scarcity, choices have to be made. The economics course, at both SL and HL, uses economic theories to examine the ways in which these choices are made:
• at the level of producers and consumers in individual markets (microeconomics)
• at the level of the government and the national economy (macroeconomics)
• at an international level where countries are becoming increasingly interdependent through international trade and the movement of labour and capital (the global economy).
The choices made by economic agents (consumers, producers and governments) generate positive and negative outcomes and these outcomes affect the relative well-being of individuals and societies. As a social science, economics examines these choices through the use of models and theories. The Diploma Programme (DP) economics course allows students to explore these models and theories, and apply them, using empirical data, through the examination of the following six real-world issues which are posed as economic questions:
• How do consumers and producers make choices in trying to meet their economic objectives?
• When are markets unable to satisfy important economic objectives—and does government intervention help?
• Why does economic activity vary over time and why does this matter?
• How do governments manage their economy and how effective are their policies?
• Who are the winners and losers of the integration of the world’s economies?
• Why is economic development uneven?
WELCOME TO THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR 2021 - 2022 !!!
This course is aimed at ISH Grade 11 students who are doing the IBO Physics course at a Standard Level. It covers 5 units of the IBO program for Physics (starting from 2016). Here students can find different resources that will help them in completing the following topics: Measurements and errors, Mechanics, Circular Motion, Thermal Physics and Waves
Welcome to CAS in Grade 11, her we will share ideas and plans for the continuation of CAS
Available at both higher and standard levels, the language B courses are designed for students with some previous experience of learning the target language.
The focus of these courses is on language acquisition and the development of skills considerably beyond those expected of an ab initio candidate, up to a fairly sophisticated degree at higher level.
Language B courses give students the opportunity to reach a high degree of competence in a language and explore the culture(s) using the language. The range of purposes and situations for which and in which the language is used extends well beyond those at ab initio, to conceptual understandings related to Identities, experiences, Human Ingenuity, social organization and sharing the planet. The types of language needed for these purposes and situations are more refined.
Mathematics: applications and interpretation is for students who are interested in developing their mathematics for describing our world and solving practical problems. They will also be interested in harnessing the power of technology alongside exploring mathematical models. Students who take Mathematics: applications and interpretation will be those who enjoy mathematics best when seen in a practical context.
Students who wish to take Mathematics: applications and interpretation at higher level will have good algebraic skills and experience of solving real-world problems. They will be students who get pleasure and satisfaction when exploring challenging problems and who are comfortable to undertake this exploration using technology.
The IB Diploma Programme visual arts course encourages students to challenge their own creative and cultural expectations and boundaries. It is a thought-provoking course in which students develop analytical skills in problem-solving and divergent thinking, while working towards technical proficiency and confidence as art-makers. In addition to exploring and comparing visual arts from different perspectives and in different contexts, students are expected to engage in, experiment with and critically reflect upon a wide range of contemporary practices and media. The course is designed for students who want to go on to study visual arts in higher education as well as for those who are seeking lifelong enrichment through visual arts.

The language A: literature aims at exploring the various manifestations
of literature as a particularly powerful mode of writing across cultures and
throughout history. The course aims at developing an understanding of factors
that contribute to the production and reception of literature—the creativity of
writers and readers, the nature of their interaction with their respective
contexts and with literary tradition, the ways in which language can give rise
to meaning and/or effect, and the performative and transformative potential of
literary creation and response. Through close analysis of a range of literary
texts in a number of literary forms and from different times and places,
students will consider their own interpretations as well as the critical
perspectives of others, to explore how such positions are shaped by cultural
belief systems and to negotiate meanings for texts.

How is this course different from SL?
Students at standard level (SL) and higher level (HL) are presented with a syllabus that has a common core consisting of prescribed subjects and topics in world history. In addition, students at HL are also required to undertake an in-depth study of three sections from one of the HL regional options. While many of the skills of studying history are common to both SL and HL, the difference in recommended teaching hours at SL and HL signals a clear distinction between the demands made on students, with the greater depth of study required for HL.
History is a dynamic, contested, evidence-based discipline that involves an exciting engagement with the past. It is a rigorous intellectual discipline, focused around key historical concepts such as change, causation and significance.
History is an exploratory subject that fosters a sense of inquiry. It is also an interpretive discipline, allowing opportunity for engagement with multiple perspectives and a plurality of opinions. Studying history develops an understanding of the past, which leads to a deeper understanding of the nature of humans and of the world today.
