Honors Curriculum

Honors courses also put a much stronger focus on independent learning and critical thinking, both of which are essential for success in university. Class participation is also encouraged by providing honors students with a much smaller teacher-to-student ratio.

Advance Placement (AP) Curriculum

AP courses are a type of course developed by the American College Board. The courses allow students currently enrolled in the Balboa School High School Dual Diploma program to take advanced level courses that will offer them university credit. AP exams are recognized by universities all over the United States and completion of classes allow students a greater variety of classes in university, as the students will be able to take a larger amount of electives. Top schools in the United States, such as Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Princeton value students who have completed AP courses.

The Balboa International Education High School Dual Diploma Program is responsible for submitting and translating the students' American and local course transcripts at the end of the second to last year of the program.  Balboa International Education will provide all students with the records that are required to apply to a student's dream school.
