What IB Diploma PRogram Courses does NAHS offer?

Students must take 7 IB Diploma Courses for the IB Diploma.  The first 6 are called “subject groups” and the 7th is IB Theory of Knowledge (TOK).  Students must take one course in each subject group for the diploma (Group 6 is interchangeable with any other group if they do not take an IB course in Group 6).  Also, AT LEAST 3 HL courses must be in their schedule, so most students end up with 3 HLs and 3 SLs but some students choose to take up to 4 HLs and then 2 SLs.  The difference between SL and HL is the amount of content the course covers.  Most of our IB DP courses are 2-year courses, regardless if they are SL or HL courses.  The only one-year courses we offer are IB Economics, IB Business Management, and IB Math Studies.  At NAHS, we offer the following courses in each subject group.
