Dear MYP5 parents and students,
We are thrilled to inform you that yesterday marked a significant opportunity for MYP5 students as they visited the DP building for an important event.
The session commenced with an informative presentation on both the Diploma Programme and the Career-Related Programme. Following that, students had the chance to delve deeper into the diverse subject offerings through direct interactions with teachers and DP1 students.
Following the presentation, students were asked to take a moment to reflect on the event’s highlights and they tried to make a tentative subject choice taking into account their future aspirations.
Recognizing the significance of this decision, we understand that family support is crucial in guiding their child’s choices. Therefore, we are delighted to provide you with the essential guide prepared by our Guidance Department which contains links to more resources by IBO and Valdo Academics on mathematics and university courses. These resources will assist both you and the students in making informed subject choices aligned with their university aspirations.
Please note that a few weeks ago students were invited to complete a survey which collects data on their subject interests and countries they are considering as possible destinations for their university studies. It is very important that you make sure your child completes the survey.
Looking ahead, on January 29th, the IB coordinator and guidance department will deliver a presentation about subject choices to families. Students’ choices, collected by February 06, will be cross-checked with the survey’s results. A drop-in schedule in March will offer support for decisions, with final choices confirmed in May.
Here you will find the Google Form that must be completed by February 6th.
Global politics has been added in Block 5.
Please take a moment to review the subject briefs, which provide a technical breakdown of the curriculum and assessment methods for each subject.
For those who have not yet completed their enrollment for the 24/25 academic year, you can access the platform using this link.
Please, kindly be aware that if you finalize your enrollment by January 31st, 2024, you will be eligible for the Early Bird discount.
Taking prompt action will ensure that you benefit from this special offer and secure your place for the upcoming school year. Failure to do so may result in any available spots in the class being offered to students on the waiting list.
Do not hesitate to contact the School Office at the email address office.ve@h-is.com should you need assistance with the enrollment procedure.
With warm regards,
Sara Casagrande
IB DP Coordinator
