The Grade 11 Biology course is the first of a two-year survey course of modern Biology. Although topics may vary slightly from year-to-year, the general list is as follows: cell theory, cell structure and function, the chemistry of life, basic cell processes such as osmosis, mitosis and meiosis and genetics form Mendel to DNA. All topics will be supplemented with laboratory work, demonstrations, or computer simulations.
This is the first year of the two year IB Biology course. The first year is common to all IB Biology students, with differentiation between Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL) occurring in year two. The International Baccalaureate program is an academically rigorous pre-university course that prepares highly motivated students for final examinations. The IB Grade is determined by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), while the KES grade is determined by assessments completed and graded by myself in preparation. The topics covered in year 1 include cell biology, molecular biology, DNA structure and replication, Genetics, Evolution and biodiversity.

This course focuses on the concepts and theories that form the basis of modern chemistry. Students will study the molecular structure and properties of compounds, trends in the periodic table, the ways in which compounds interact quantitatively (stoichiometry), solution chemistry; and, explore how chemistry is used in developing new products and processes that affect our lives and our environment. Students will also be introduced to the world of organic chemistry.
This course offers an in-depth study of chemical theories, their application and laboratory procedures, in accordance with the IB syllabus. In the Grade 11 year, the modules include atomic theory, periodicity, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, and energetics. The Grade 12 year of the IB programme includes an examination of equilibrium, kinetics, acid and base behavior, electrochemistry, and organic chemistry. This course includes additional higher-level material in each module.

The Grade 12 year of the IB programme includes an examination of equilibrium, kinetics, acid and base behavior, electrochemistry, and organic chemistry.
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of organic chemistry, acids and bases, energy changes and rates of reaction, chemical systems and equilibrium, electrochemistry, and molecular structure. Students will further develop problem-solving and laboratory skills as they investigate chemical processes, at the same time refining their ability to communicate scientific information. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of chemistry in daily life and on evaluating the impact of chemical technology on the environment.

The CS12 course incorporates a range of problem solving methodologies across a number of languages to create solutions. In particular, system fundamentals, computer organisation, networks, and problem solving and programming will be taught using the Java language. Other languages will be surveyed for specific solution types. Abstract data structures, databases, modelling, and object oriented programming will be additional areas of study.
The intent of this course is to provide students with a coherent perspective on the environment; one that is essentially scientific and that enables them to adopt an informed and responsible stance towards the wide range of pressing environmental issues that they will inevitably come to face, Topics of study include: ecosystem structure, function and change, with a particular focus upon freshwater aquatic ecosystems, impact of humans upon natural systems, and biodiversity and conservation. Investigations will include lab work, field studies, simulations and reports. It may be used as a Group III or a Group IV subject for the IB Diploma.

This course (ESS) 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 Grade 10 Science and Science 10H courses introduce the student to methods of studying the physical world. The student learns the skills of: problem solving, scientific inquiry and methodology. The course is a preparatory course that aids students continuing in science in Grades 11 and 12. The course will require students to learn the skills and techniques and apply the theory associated with physics, chemistry, and ecology. They will also problem solve and learn by experimentation and investigation. The course material makes the connection between the theoretical world and the practical day-to-day applications of science. Students will study such topics as: Motion, Matter, Atomic Theory, Periodicity, Bonding, Ecology and Sustainability. This course will challenge the student to question and to observe phenomena and to develop their own strategies to arrive at acceptable conclusions.
