[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I realize that IB is not usually in 9th and 10th grade. I am concerned that "honors English" is a joke, and would like to get my child into a more challenging English curriculum in 9th and 10th grade. Not sure what my options are really. [/quote] Does your school offer AP Seminar? This is being set up to be the 10th grade AP English class. The course content/theme is designed by individual teachers, but involves research, presentations, etc. Students are assessed with two through-course performance tasks and one end-of-course exam. All three assessments are summative and will be used to calculate a final AP score (using the 1–5 scale) for AP Seminar. § Team Project and Presentation — 20% § Individual Research-Based Essay and Presentation — 35% § End-of-Course Exam (2 Hours) — 45% This is part of the AP Capstone, which was introduced to answer IB.
