• Rising Senior Enrollment Form

    2025-2026

  • For further reading, the full Program of Studies is available here: Signature School Program of Studies

  • Next, you'll begin selecting courses (and some alternates) for each group. 

  • Course Requests

  • There are 8 periods in the regular school day. You are pre-enrolled in TOK, and you will need to take your next English and next world language courses, and, if you have not already taken them, the semester-long AP Government course and one of the two semester-long AP Economics courses. Finally, you must ensure that by the end of your senior year, you will have taken 3 (or 4) IB exams at the HL level and 3 (or 2) IB exams at the SL level. Five of these IB exams must be from Groups 1-5. The sixth IB exam may be from any group but Group 5, mathematics. Only one Group 5 course counts towards the diploma. Complete the table below to show that you are on track to fulfill IB DP course requirements.

  •  

  • Required: Group 1 Language

    You must take one Group 1 Language course each year and must earn a C or better in all 4 of your English classes to stay on track for the Indiana Academic Honors Diploma (AHD).

  • Required: Group 2 Language 

    You continue your four-year world language sequence and must earn a C or better at each stage in the sequence to stay on track for the AHD.

  • Group 3 Individuals and Societies


    You must complete one semester of AP Government and one semester of AP Economics. If you have not completed AP Gov and AP Economics, you must enroll in them now.

    You must complete either a one-year Group 3 IB SL course or a two-year Group 3 IB HL course by the end of your senior year.

    If you took IB History HL1/AP Euro Hist your junior year and intend to count it as one of your HLs, you must take IB History HL2 your senior year.

    IB Psych SL and IB History SL are one-year courses, IB ESS has a prerequisite, and IB History HL is a two-year course.

    AP European History is a great senior-year elective that looks good on a transcript, but juniors will be given priority seating. 

  • Required: Group 4 Experimental Sciences

    • You must complete at least one SL or HL in this group.
    • IB Chem HL2/SL2 and IB Bio HL2 are the second year of two-year courses.
    • IB Physics SL/AP Physics 2 and IB ESS both have pre-requisites. See below.
    • AP Computer Science A, AP Environmental Science, AP Physics 1, and AP Chemistry are excellent senior-year electives, but juniors taking these courses as the first-year of an IB two-year sequence will be given priority seating. 
    • AP Environmental Science is a pre-requisite for IB ESS, a year-long course that satisfies both Group 3 and Group 4 IB diploma requirements.
    • AP Physics 1 requires a strong math background. Algebra 2/Trig is the recommended co-requisite. This course is a pre-requisite for IB Phys SL/AP Physics 2.

  • Required: Group 5 Mathematics

    You must take one mathematics course each year, and you must earn a C or better in all 4 of your mathematics classes to stay on track for the Indiana Academic Honors Diploma.

    Below, is a course sequence to help you choose with teacher input. Please recall that you may take both IB Math SL AA and IB Math SL AI, but only one of these courses will count towards your IB Diploma. 

  • Group 6 The Arts

    You may take one or more courses.

    You may take an IB Group 6 for your 6th IB Diploma subject, but you don’t have to. Group 6 electives that do not fulfill IB Diploma requirements are great sources for CAS hours.

    • Instrumental Music begins at 7:30.
      • Orchestra is on A days.
      • Band is on B days.
    • Musical Theatre occurs Wednesdays and Thursdays, 3:30-5:00.

  • Repeated Courses

    If you have to repeat a course because you earned a D or F, we will re-enroll you in that course provided that repeating the class does not delay your graduation. In this case, we will not be able to honor the PS registrations you indicate above. Please answer the question below.

  • Silent Study Requests, Additional Courses, Comments

  • Silent Study Requests

    You may elect to take a Silent Study for fall, spring, or both semesters. When making this decision, consider:

    Silent Study is meant for students able to work independently and silently on academic requirements. Silent Study students must check in with their supervising teachers at the start of each period for attendance. We will find alternative course placement for students who register for Silent Study but who prove unable to meet behavioral expectations.

    If you wish to take a Silent Study, choose Fall Semester, Spring Semester, or both below. We will then have you type your name to indicate that you understand the expectations of Silent Study students. 

  • Two-Year IB Course Plan

  • Please confirm that your course requests complete the required two-year IB course plan by completing the below chart with the courses you're completing your junior year along with the courses you've requested for your senior year. Remember:

    • You must take AP U.S. Government and Politics (a 1 semester course) AND a semester of economics (AP Macroeconomics or AP Microeconomics) to graduate.
    • You must schedule a total of 3 IB HL courses and 3 IB SL courses over the two years. Five of these IB classes must be chosen from Groups 1-5; the 6th IB class cannot come from Group 5. 
    • If you received a D or F in any course required for the Indiana Academic Honors Diploma, you will need to retake the class and should note it on the schedule, below.
