radiantmum:

In Yr 3 & 4 IP:
English - Must (more like English Literature - no grammar or comprehension type of questions)
2nd language - Must (eg Chinese or Higher Chinese. No advantage choosing Higher Chinese unless you eyeing for Bilingual Diploma)
Mathematics - Must (Only 1 Maths, no E Maths or A Maths split like in JC \"A\")
Sciences - Only Pure Sciences. You can choose 3 though school strongly discourage (cos usu parents' preference). Minimum choose 2.
Humanities - Only Pure History / Geography. If you choose 3 Sciences, you need only choose 1 in this category or substitute with Arts.
Arts - Eg Music/Arts - - you can substitute with 1 Humanity.

In summary, you will need total 6 subjects - English, 2nd Language and Maths is a must.

Typical combi as I understand is 2 Sciences and 2 Humanities.

That is from memory. Best is you attend the end of Yr 2 Parents' Talk.

Thanks for your prompt reply. :thankyou:

Hi,

Any parents with kids in IB Year 3 and above?

Not exactly sure how does the curriculum works? I know they have 3 core elements and need to select from the six subject groups as below.

Studies in language and literature
Language acquisition
Individuals and societies
Sciences.
Mathematics
The arts.

Does SJI offer double science from year 3 or during IB years only (i.e. Year 5 and 6)? Appreciated your feedbacks... thanks
