ADVANTAGE
The changes to how we offer Sciences address:
- New MYP allowances to offer Sciences as separate subjects.
- Needs of students who want to major in Science or Medicine.
Universities know that students took time to 'get ahead.' Students get prepared for the Diploma courses. This is the Prep School advantage.
