CURRICULUM

The secondary school curriculum is divided into two academic programmes - the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) for students in grades 7 to 10 and the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) for students in grades 11 and 12.

MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAMME (MYP)

The core subjects in the MYP are Language and Literature (in English or Chinese), Language Acquisition (Chinese, French or Spanish), Mathematics, Sciences, Individuals and Societies, Arts (students specialise in one from grade 9 onwards), Design and Physical Education.

DIPLOMA PROGRAMME (DP): GRADES 11 AND 12

The IB Diploma programme is a 2 year course. Students complete six subjects, three at higher level (HL) and three at standard level (SL). As well as selecting one subject from each of the six subject groups,

CIS SECONDARY SCHOOL GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS CIS students are provided with the opportunity to pursue the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma and a CIS diploma. In order to earn a CIS Diploma, students in grades 9 to 12 must earn a minimum of 25 academic credits and complete the IB core requirements. Full diploma requirement details can be viewed at goo.gl/7bdRJS.

If a student fulfills the CIS secondary school diploma graduation requirements, the student will be awarded a CIS secondary school diploma. This is the equivalent of an American secondary school diploma, and also has equivalency in many other countries. The conditions for the award of the CIS secondary school diploma are determined by the school and part of our WASC accreditation.
