 GRADES 9 AND 10
GRADES 9 AND 10 CURRICULUM
“Students at this stage - early puberty to mid-adolescence - are in a particularly critical phase of personal and intellectual development. This is a time of uncertainty, sensitivity, resistance and questioning. An educational program needs to provide them with discipline, skills and challenging standards, but also with creativity and flexibility. The IBO builds its program around these considerations but it is also concerned that students develop a personal value system by which to guide their own lives, as thoughtful members of local communities and the larger world.” ()
In addition to the eight subject groups (Language A: English, Humanities, Technology, Mathematics, Arts, Sciences, Physical Education, and Language B) specified by the IB Middle Years Programme, students in grades 9 and 10 will be required to take Filipino and Comparative Religions and Global Values. They must also complete the Academy’s Community and Service requirements and the MYP Personal Project.
