Introduction
The Course Selection Booklet outlines the course and credit requirements for graduation from ACS Cobham International School. In addition to earning a High School Diploma, with credits from various subjects (see High School Planner), students have the opportunity to earn the International Baccalaureate Diploma if they choose to follow the specific combined requirements outlined by the IB, or to take Advanced Placement courses and examinations, offered by the College Board. Students may also take a combination of IB Courses, Advanced Placement courses and regular courses. This booklet provides students and parents with course descriptions, including length of course, credit and where applicable the course prerequisites, to help you make informed, student-appropriate selections. We aim to meet all student requests but, inevitably, limitations in class size and the schedule may prevent some students from taking all of their first choice elective courses. There will be limited spaces in some courses. We base the schedule on your course choices. This means that any changes may be very difficult, if not impossible, to make. Choose wisely. |
