The transition to high school is one that comes with monumental changes and often insecurities. This enrichment course combines high school and IB preparation to ensure that students are ready for September. Gain confidence and a stronger understanding of high school expectations while focusing on some important concepts such as time management, organizational strategies, study skills, communication skills and essay writing, to name a few. Students aspiring to enroll in the Middle Year Programme (MYP), prepare by focusing on critical skills and thinking that would best prepare them for this curriculum. After-school co-curricular activities allow for students to make lasting friendships and network with other high school students.
