Pick HL/SL combinations that actually fit.
A clear-headed look at the student's strengths, university plans, and the IB's quirks, together, before Class 11 starts.
The details that make this work.
Strengths audit
What the student is great at, and what's missing for the path they want.
University-aligned
Combinations matched to target programmes and countries.
Workload realism
We talk through the load before you commit. HL Chem + HL Math is a different life.
Backup planning
What to do if Term 1 reveals a subject was the wrong pick.
How we work.
A predictable rhythm, designed so parents always know what's next.
Discovery call
We sit with the student, what excites them, what doesn't, what they're considering.
Profile mapping
Strengths, target programmes, university expectations, lifestyle.
Combinations proposed
Two or three viable HL/SL combinations with trade-offs spelled out.
Final review
Once the student picks, we revisit one term in to make sure it's working.
“We came in convinced our daughter should take HL Bio. She came out doing HL Math AI, and thriving.”
What families ask before booking.
Ideally the term before Class 11 starts. Latest, the first month of Class 11 while the school still allows switches.
