If a student entering 9th grade wants to pursue the IB diploma beginning in 11th grade, the student should enroll in Spanish during 9th and 10th grade. Also, students considering the IB diploma should take physics or chemistry (if desired) during A2 as IB diploma candidates do not have time in their schedules to take these courses in A3.
