The
Nogales High School Honor's Curriculum includes classes in English,
Fine Arts, History, Mathematics, Modern Languages, and Science. We
offer these courses to all students, but we recommend them for our
most highly motivated students because of the quality as well as
quantity of the work we expect from them in these classes.
The
NHS Honor's Curriculum revolves around two programs. One is the
widely-acclaimed International Baccalaureate (IB) program, which
offers a core curriculum of six subject areas and other requirements,
leading to the prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma.
Students who do not choose to pursue the complete diploma may sign up
for individual classes and take exams for certificates. Students with both the IB Diploma and the IB Certificates can earn college-level
credit.
We
also offer Advanced Placement (AP) classes in many subject areas. We
teach these classes at the college level and include exams that also
earn college credit. In addition, students that complete the IB
Diploma and Certificate and pass the AP Exams earn college credits.
We
encourage students to consider and try at least on Honors course. By
choosing on Honors course, students make a decision to commit
themselves to the requirements and responsibility.
Since
the 1997 – 98 school year, Nogales High School has offered two
types of Honor's Diplomas. Candidates for the IB Diploma are also
eligible for the NHS Honor's Diploma.
