From grades 10-12, ISF students continue on one of two tracks: Math for Arts or Math for Science - both leading to high level qualifications upon completion. In Grade 9, the study of algebra and computing is continued along with the study of geometry. Math in the High School is taught as an integrated discipline, allowing for fluidity across boundaries between different branches of math. At this stage, opportunities are provided for students to become independent learners through research tasks and independent projects. Students are provided with opportunities to write for a range of purposes and audiences, in a variety of styles and forms. As they read and write, students are encouraged to respond to layers of meaning and appreciate a wide range of authors and genres, becoming more aware of the techniques of writing for effect within each of those genres. Students study classic and contemporary texts, paired with workbook and interactive tools that are designed to develop students’ literary and problem-solving skills. The aim of the SABIS ® English program in High School is to ensure students continue to develop their skills to be effective and powerful communicators, in a world where this skill is highly valuable and critical to success.
In Grades 9-12, the English program focuses on preparation for the IGCSE in First or Second Language and Literature, AP ® English Literature, and the IB Diploma in English Language and Literature as well as English as a Foreign Language. International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program Students taking AP ®s also take PSAT and SAT examinations. Students can take Advanced Placement ® (AP ®) courses set by The College Board or they can choose to enter the IB Diploma Programme. In addition to a High School Diploma, students in grades 11 and 12 have the option of two pathways to prepare for admission to universities in Germany and around the world. Paths to UniversityĪll students in grades 9 to 12 follow the SABIS ® curriculum leading to a High School Diploma. In grades 10 and 11 students can also choose to take International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE).
Grade 9 is the beginning of the four-year cycle that leads to our external university entrance qualifications and graduation in Grade 12 with the High School Diploma, as well as either the IB Diploma or Advanced Placements (AP ®) exams. During this time, they are making lifelong friendships, discovering their talents, learning more advanced material, and preparing themselves for the next chapter of their lives. High School is an important time in a student's life.
