SUBJECT SELECTIONS

Learners must pick one subject from Groups 1-5 respectively. The sixth subject may then be from Group 6 or a second subject from Group 2, 3 or 4. We will build the timetable around your choices. Some combinations of subjects may only be possible if sufficient learners select them and we would aim to let you know as soon as possible after subject selection closes.

IB COURSES

IMG_1663.MOV

IB Courses is a more appropriate route for our learners who may find the demands of the full Diploma programme too challenging.

With IB Courses, learners still gain an IB certificate that lists all the subjects they studied and the grades awarded.  Each of the elements they studied has university tariff points. 

For learners who choose IB Courses we can be flexible in creating your timetable. Some learners on Courses choose to opt out of one subject that they find especially challenging. Other learners may choose to study more SL subjects than HLs and/or opt out of TOK and the EE. We will have a conversation with learners and parents about designing a course that fits your requirements. 

Nexus has a good track record of supporting learners who take the Course option to access university successfully.
