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 encourages you to become more aware of global problems. It offers you opportunities to explore issues you are interested in; to work independently and to research on your own. It also gives you the chance to build your team-working skills of collaboration and co-operation as you work with others to explore solutions to local issues. The course is not about getting everybody to think identically; it is about finding out what others think and feel about the global issues of today, reflecting on different perspectives and taking others’ ideas into consideration. 

Course Outline

This is where we will do our LAL classes on Tuesday mornings.

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.

This course provide all you need to prepare for your Cambridge IGCSE in French qualification. It also teaches you about the way of life of the people in the French-speaking world and about the language they speak.

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.

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 

Through practical and theoretical study, learners develop an understanding and enjoyment of drama, developing group and individual skills and studying ways to communicate ideas and feelings to an audience. They learn how to discover performance possibilities of a text and other stimuli, and devise dramatic material of their own. Learners also develop their performance skills, the demonstration of which will form part of their final assessment.

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.

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.

Course Description

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 !!!

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.

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

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 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.

This course is designed to support students who study French B for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at either Higher or Standard Level. 

In this course, you will develop your academic writing skills which you will need to apply across subjects in your IB - ISHDP programme. You will also receive specific guidance for your learning journey with the IB Extended Essay. You will become familiar with the requirements and expectations of this piece of independent research that the IB has set as part of its core.

Do ask questions to clarify everything that you might want to address.

IB Environmental Systems and Societies is a trans disciplinary subject, a college-level introduction to ecology. It is science applied to ideas presented in geography, economics, and TOK. We’ll look at the ways different people around the world perceive and respond to various environmental issues, and we’ll dig deeper into their experiences and motivations for taking action (or not taking action).

ESS covers eight major topics: foundations of the course and its major ideas, ecosystem structure and function, biodiversity, water resources, soil systems and food production, atmospheric science, climate change and energy production, and the interaction between human populations and resource use.
