Corsi IB
The study of literary, non-literary, visual and performance texts provides a focus for understanding how meaning is constructed within belief or value systems, and how it is negotiated across multiple perspectives generated by single or multiple readers. Thinking critically about texts, as well as responding to, producing or performing them, leads to an understanding of how language sustains or challenges ways of thinking and being. The study additionally builds an awareness that all texts may be understood in relation to their form, content, purpose, audience and their associated contexts, such as social, historical and cultural circumstance.
The course is divided into 5 thematic units, each designed to incorporate the 3 overarching syllabus components: Readers writers and texts, Time and Space, and intertextuality: connecting texts.
Student should choose their 'first' language. This is usually the one in which they are the strongest and fluent in reading, writing, and speaking. Options at EF Academy Oxford are:
English A- HL/SL
Spanish A- HL/SL
German A - SL
French A- SL/HL
Italian A- HL/S
Language B is an additional language-learning course designed for students with some previous learning of that language. It may be studied at either SL or HL. The main focus of the course is on language acquisition and development of language skills. These language skills should be developed through the study and use of a range of written and spoken material. Such material will extend from everyday oral exchanges to literary texts and should be related to the culture(s) concerned. The material should be chosen to enable students to develop mastery of language skills and intercultural understanding. It should not be intended solely for the study of specific subject matter or content. Options at EF Academy Oxford are:
English
Spanish
French
The main objective of this challenging but stimulating course will be to provide students with the skills that are necessary for them to be able to handle everyday situations in a Spanish/French-speaking environment. Through their acquisition of language, they will learn how to communicate effectively with other Spanish/French speakers in practical and social situations. The course will cover the skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing and will enable students to know how to respond appropriately and spontaneously to a wide range of different circumstances.
Economics is a dynamic social science, forming part of the study of individuals and societies. The study of economics is essentially is seen through the lens of 9 key concepts: scarcity, choice, efficiency, equity, economic well -being, sustainability, change, interdependence, and intervention. These concepts are examined through 6 real-word issues:
How do consumers and producers make choices in trying to meet their economic objectives?
When are markets unable to satisfy important economic objectives - and does government intervention help?
Why does economic activity vary over time and why does this matter?
How do governments manage their economy and how effective are their policies?
Who are the winners and losers of the integration of the world's economies?
Why is economic development uneven?
Therefore, although economics involves the formulation of theory; it is not a purely theoretical subject: real-world examples must be applied to economic theories. Neither is economics a discrete subject, since economics incorporates elements of history, geography, psychology, sociology, political studies, and many other related fields of study.
History is a dynamic, contested, evidence-based discipline that involves an exciting engagement with the past. It is a rigorous intellectual discipline, focused around key historical concepts such as change, causation and significance.
History is an exploratory subject that fosters a sense of inquiry. It is also an interpretive discipline, allowing opportunity for engagement with multiple perspectives and a plurality of opinions. Studying history develops an understanding of the past, which leads to a deeper understanding of the nature of humans and of the world today.
The IB Diploma programme history course is a world history course based on a comparative and multi-perspective approach to history. It involves the study of a variety of types of history, including political, economic, social and cultural, and provides a balance of structure and flexibility. The course emphasizes the importance of encouraging students to think historically and to develop historical skills as well as gaining factual knowledge. It puts a premium on developing the skills of critical thinking, and on developing an understanding of multiple interpretations of history.
In this way, the course involves a challenging and demanding critical exploration of the past.
The course examines business-decision making processes in business organization, marketing, production, human resource management and finance are underpinned by six key business concepts: change, strategy, culture, ethics, globalization and innovation. It studies the way individuals and groups interact in an organization and how resources are transformed within an international perspective.
Global politics is an exciting course that allows students to explore a range of global political issues and the impact that they have on the relationships between nations, International bodies and other supranational organizations. Students will learn about a broad range of approaches to International relations theory and analyze the ways in which these different perspectives affect relationships and diplomacy between countries, alongside the ways in which bodies such as the United Nations and European Union can influence the actions of different groups. Students will also examine a wide range of specific global political issues and examine both the International and local effect's that they have on state government's actions and International relationships.
Biology is the study of life. The first organisms appeared on the planet over 3 billion years ago and, through reproduction and natural selection, have given rise to the 8 million or so different species alive today. Many areas of research in biology are extremely challenging and many discoveries remain to be made. Biology is still a young science and great progress is expected in the 21st century. This progress is sorely needed at a time when the growing human population is placing ever greater pressure on food supplies and on the habitats of other species and is threatening the very planet we occupy.
Chemistry is an experimental science that combines academic study with the acquisition of practical and investigational skills. It is often called the central science, as chemical principles underpin both the physical environment in which we live and all biological systems. Apart from being a subject worthy of study in its own right, chemistry is a prerequisite for many other courses in higher education, such as medicine, biological science and environmental science, and serves as useful preparation for employment.
Physics is the most fundamental of the experimental sciences, as it seeks to explain the universe itself from the very smallest particles-currently accepted as quarks, which may be truly fundamental-to the vast distances between galaxies. Classical physics, built upon the great pillars of Newtonian mechanics, electromagnetism and thermodynamics, went a long way in deepening our understanding of the universe. From Newtonian mechanics came the idea of predictability in which the universe is deterministic and knowable. This led to Laplace's boast that by knowing the initial conditions, the position, and velocity of every particle in the universe-, he could, in principle, predict the future with absolute certainty.
ESS is an interdisciplinary group 3 and 4 course that is offered only at standard level (SL). As an interdisciplinary course, ESS is designed to combine the methodology, techniques and knowledge associated with group 4 (sciences) with those associated with group 3 (individuals and societies). As a result of studying this course, students will become equipped with the ability to recognize and evaluate the impact of our complex system of societies on the natural world. It is recognized that to understand the environmental issues of the 21st century and suggest suitable management solutions, both the human and environmental aspects must be understood. Through the exploration of cause and effect, the course investigates how values interact with choices and actions, resulting in a range of environmental impacts. Students develop an understanding that the connections between environmental systems and societies are diverse, varied and dynamic. The complexity of these interactions challenges those working towards understanding the actions required for effective guardianship of the planet and sustainable and equitable use of shared resources.
This course recognizes the need for analytical expertise in a world where innovation is increasingly dependent on a deep understanding of mathematics. This course includes topics that are both traditionally part of a pre-university mathematics course (for example, functions, trigonometry, calculus) as well as topics that are amenable to investigation, conjecture and proof, for instance the study of sequences and series at both SL and HL, and proof by induction at HL. The course allows the use of technology, as fluency in relevant mathematical software and hand- held technology is important regardless of choice of course. However, it has a strong emphasis on the ability to construct, communicate and justify correct mathematical arguments. Students who choose this course should be comfortable in the manipulation of algebraic expressions and enjoy the recognition of patterns and understand the mathematical generalization of these patterns. Students who wish to take Mathematics: analysis and approaches at higher level will have strong algebraic skills and the ability to understand simple proof. They will be students who enjoy spending time with problems and get pleasure and satisfaction from solving challenging problems.
This course recognizes the increasing role that mathematics and technology play in a diverse range of fields in a data-rich world. As such, it emphasizes the meaning of mathematics in context by focusing on topics that are often used as applications or in mathematical modelling. To give this understanding a firm base, this course also includes topics that are traditionally part of a pre-university mathematics course such as calculus and statistics. The course makes extensive use of technology to allow students to explore and construct mathematical models. Students will develop mathematical thinking, often in the context of a practical problem and by using technology to justify conjectures. Students should enjoy seeing mathematics used in real-world contexts and to solve real-world problems. Students who wish to take Mathematics: applications and interpretation at higher level will have good algebraic skills and experience of solving real-world problems. They will be students who get pleasure and satisfaction when exploring challenging problems and who are comfortable to undertake this exploration using technology
The IB Diploma Programme visual arts course encourages students to challenge their own creative and cultural expectations and boundaries. It is a thought-provoking course in which students develop analytical skills in problem-solving and divergent thinking, while working towards technical proficiency and confidence as art-makers. In addition to exploring and comparing visual arts from different perspectives and in different contexts, students are expected to engage in, experiment with and critically reflect upon a wide range of contemporary practices and media. The course is designed for students who want to go on to further study of visual arts in higher education as well as for those who are seeking lifelong enrichment through visual arts.
Throughout the course students are required to maintain a visual arts journal. Although sections of the journal will be selected, adapted, and presented for assessment, the journal itself is not directly assessed or moderated. It is, however, regarded as a fundamental activity of the course.

A-Levels a Oxford
Le qualifiche A-Level (GCE Advanced Level) sono un programma scolastico biennale. Ciò significa che gli esami si svolgono tutti alla fine dei due anni di scuola, ad eccezione delle valutazioni pratiche nelle materie scientifiche, che si svolgono durante il programma. Gli esami si tengono a maggio e giugno alla fine del secondo anno.
Si consiglia agli studenti di seguire tre materie, infatti le migliori università del Regno Unito ne richiedono appunto tre. Coloro che desiderano seguire il corso di Further Maths possono farlo come quarta materia A-Level, a condizione di soddisfare i requisiti di una valutazione interna che il dipartimento di matematica effettuerà all'inizio del primo trimestre.
Oltre alle materie A-Level, gli studenti possono anche intraprendere un "extended project qualification" (EPQ). Gli studenti possono godere della libertà di lavorare in maniera indipendente, realizzando un progetto di ricerca basato su una materia che stanno seguendo o su un'area di interesse personale.
Oltre alle materie di livello A, tutti gli studenti studieranno l'inglese per prepararsi a sostenere l'esame IELTS, necessario per accedere alle università del Regno Unito. Tutti gli studenti hanno una lezione settimanale di Pathways Support, che tratta le abilità di studio, la mentalità di crescita, l'educazione alla salute personale e sociale e la preparazione all'università.
