ISH-Moodle

This programme enables students to develop generalisations of mathematical ideas and methods through exploration of applications, the effective use of technology, and abstract reasoning. The programme asks students to investigate relationships within mathematics and between mathematics and other subjects. Students will engage in problem solving strategies to extend core learning to a level that will deepen their mathematical knowledge and enrich their understanding.

This course covers a variety of topics  varying from numerical operations and properties, algebraic manipulation and handling data based on statistical correlations, recognizing patterns and structures and use special relationships.  You will learn to interpret mathematical results and understand their significance.

It also aims to develop methods of problem solving supported by both analytical and graphical techniques. To that end, an essential tool is a GDC - graphical devise-  for which the TI-84+ graphical calculator is recommended.

IGCSE Spanish Foreign Language is a two-year programme designed for students who are learning Spanish as a foreign language with some or very limited previous experience in the target language. The aim is to develop the ability to communicate effectively for practical, social and academic purposes. The course is based on the linked language skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing, and these are built on as learners progress through their studies.

IGCSE English as a Second Language is a two-year course intended for students in Grades 9 and 10 who will have the opportunity to develop their communicative ability in English as well as their understanding of the language in a range of everyday situations, including a variety of social registers and styles. By design, the course aims to develop learners’ ability to use English effectively for the purpose of practical communication; form a solid foundation for the skills required for further study or employment using English as the medium; develop learners’ awareness of the nature of language and language-learning skills, as well as promote learners’ personal development.

IGCSE Economics course emphasize in the basic concepts needed for students to understand main economic theories. For example, in an approach to microeconomic theory, it includes themes like: the basic economic problem, resource allocation, the individual as producer, consumer and borrower, the role of a government in an economy and the private firm. On the other hand, in terms of macroeconomics and international aspects, the course provide a wide range of topics such as: economic indicators, developed and developing economies, current account of the balance of payment, exchange rates, the merits of the free trade, the merits of protection, among others. These economic theories are not to be studied in a vacuum-rather, they are to be applied to real-world issues. Prominent among these issues are fluctuations in economic activity and environmental sustainability.

Grade 9-10 Course Summary

Students will examine the factors that affect performance in sports. They will identify functions of the skeleton and their relevance to performance and participation in practical activities.

Grade 9-10 students should gain an understanding of what motivates people to participate in physical activities and how they prepare for exercise, understand how skills are learned.

Besides, grade 9-10 students will analyze Healthy Eating, Growth and Development, and Personal Safety and Injury Prevention.

When studying the Cambridge IGCSE Music syllabus, learners listen to, perform and compose music, encouraging aesthetic and emotional development, self-discipline and, importantly, creativity. As a result, learners enhance their appreciation and enjoyment of music, an achievement that forms an ideal foundation for future study and enhances lifelong musical enjoyment. Learners study music of all styles; each style is placed in its historical and cultural context, and learners are encouraged to be perceptive, sensitive and critical when listening.

Welcome to your IGCSE World Literature course. Here, you will learn, share, appreciate and enjoy! Your talents and creativity are invited and highly appreciated! The idea is to enjoy literature from different parts of the world and different periods of time, while we work toward the development of literary analysis and academic writing skills.

Each secondary student at ISH takes part in an Advisory class that meets for one period each week. Advisories help to create a more personalized learning environment where all students are well known by at least one adult. Advisory's purpose is to develop a sense of community through a program that:

IGCSE 0500 First Language English: all about skills development 

The IGCSE First Language Spanish Course is a two-year course for students in Grades 9 and 10 whose command of the language is that of native or near native users. This course affords the students the opportunity to develop their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills for a wide range of academic and communicative purposes. Students will respond with understanding to a rich array of reading texts during the course as a whole. Candidates will use these texts to inform and inspire their own writing, and will write in a range of text types for different purposes and audiences. Candidates are encouraged to become appreciative and critical readers, writers, speakers and listeners.

Grade 10 IGCSE P.E course description

Successful Cambridge IGCSE Business Studies learners will be able to understand different forms of business organisations, the environments in which businesses operate and business functions such as marketing, operations, and finance; and appreciate the role of people in business success.
They will also gain lifelong skills, including the ability to calculate and interpret business data, communication skills needed to support arguments with reasons and the ability to analyse business situations and reach decisions or judgements.

This course is aimed at ISH Grade 11 students who are doing the IBO Physics course at a Standard Level. It covers four 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 uncertainties; Mechanics; Circular motion; Waves; Electricity and magnetism; and Atomic, nuclear, and particle physics.

ESS is a complex course, requiring a diverse set of skills from its students. It is firmly grounded in both a scientific exploration of environmental systems in their structure and function and in the exploration of cultural, economic, ethical, political, and social interactions of societies with the environment. As a result of studying this course, students will become equipped with the ability to recognize and evaluate the impact of our complex system of societies on the natural world. The interdisciplinary nature of the course requires a broad skill set from students and includes the ability to perform research and investigations and to participate in philosophical discussion. The course requires a systems approach to environmental understanding and problem solving, and promotes holistic thinking about environmental issues. It is recognized that to understand the environmental issues of the 21st century and suggest suitable management solutions, both the human and environmental aspects must be understood. Students should be encouraged to develop solutions from a personal to a community and to a global scale.

Through the exploration of cause and effect, the course investigates how values interact with choices and actions, resulting in a range of environmental impacts. Students develop an understanding that the connections between environmental systems and societies are diverse, varied and dynamic. The complexity of these interactions challenges those working towards understanding the actions required for effective guardianship of the planet and sustainable and equitable use of shared resources.

Welcome to CAS in Grade 11, her we will share ideas and plans for the continuation of CAS

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 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.
