IB World History
IB World History is a two year higher level course. The first year will focus on East and Southeast Asia, and the second year will focus on 3 prescribed subjects. Students will need to complete a historical investigation for the internal assessment. Students also need to cover two topics over the two year course (1. Nationalist and independence movements and 2.The rise and rule of single party states). This is expected and the course is designed to prepare the students for the IB exam in May of their senior year.
