Description
High School consists of 10th to 12th grades. In these last three years of school, the focus is on completing the school stage successfully and preparing students for higher education.
The IB Diploma Program, offered in Spanish with some subjects in English, is the basis of the High School program. Santiago College adopted this program and the Certificate program in 1981. Designed as a comprehensive two-year curriculum, this program enables its graduates to complete the requirements of various education systems. The Diploma model incorporates learning elements from different countries, allowing all SC high school students to receive the benefits of this international curriculum.
Although in 10th grade students must choose whether or not they will take the full program, all students must take the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) subject, meet the Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) requirements and complete the Extended Essay, as well as taking exams for one of the three levels of IB English offered by the school (English A: Literature, English A: Language and Literature or English B).
In 10th grade, students decide which curriculum they will take during High School, focusing on earning the IB Diploma or preparing for the PAES exams. Regardless of the chosen plan, they must select IB Diploma subjects within the range of subjects offered by the school. This selection allows each student to create their own study plan based on their interests and abilities.
