IB Chinese AB INITIO

This course is the first year of an accelerated two-year Mandarin Chinese course that focuses on the language and culture of China. Students will practice and learn speaking and writing skills appropriate to the IB ab initio course requirements. This course is available only to IB Diploma students who are new to the district and who do not have the prerequisite skills and necessary course requirements to enroll in IB French 4, IB German 4, or IB Spanish 4. No IB Certificates are awarded as this subject is only available to candidates seeking the full IB Diploma. Students enrolled in this course must take the IB exam at their own expense.
