IB Biology (11th & 12th grades):
Biology and life sciences impact people’s lives every day and involve the study of living things and how they relate to each other and their environmental surroundings. It includes topics in biology, botany, ecology, and zoology and is essential to the understanding of disease, diversity of life, and all biological topics. It would be nearly impossible to make informed decisions about everything from disease treatment to how to improve crop yields to personal health without advanced life science education.
Consistent with the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, core components of the curriculum include the study of living things, including cells and their structures and functions, anatomy, and biology in the environment, including biological processes such as photosynthesis. The biology curriculum covers organization, metabolism, responsiveness, movements, and reproduction. In humans, who represent the most complex form of life, additional topics such as growth, differentiation, respiration, digestion, and excretion are covered, with an emphasis on how these processes are interrelated.
This position may be combined with Environmental Science to form a three-quarters or full-time position.

French
As the only independent high school in Hampton Roads to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, at The Hague School, “worldview” and “international mindedness” are terms that connect with our students, not as places on a map, but as faces and names. Language instruction begins with Linguistics in the 9th grade and is followed by beginning or intermediate (Pre-IB) French in the 9th & 10th grades. IB French continues as a core course in the 11th & 12th grades. Language acquisition courses are designed to provide students with the necessary skills and intercultural understanding to enable them to communicate successfully in an environment where the language studied is spoken.
The IB French curriculum is organized around five themes:
- Identities – The nature of the self and how we express who we are
- Experiences – Tell the stories of the events, experiences, and journeys that shape our lives.
- Human Ingenuity – How human creativity and innovation affect our world
- Social Organization – How groups of people organize themselves or are organized through common systems or interests
- Sharing the Planet – Explore the challenges and opportunities faced by individuals and communities in the modern world.
By engaging these themes through written, audio, and video mediums, students are immersed in a culture different from their own, which helps mold open-minded and caring students.
