The High School program of study provides all students a rigorous college preparatory program that offers broad exposure to a balance of academic disciplines and co-curricular opportunities to earn credits towards the FDR High School Diploma, a US-equivalent high school dIploma. Based on their interests and plans for the future, students have the opportunity to complete up to two additional certifications upon graduation, the IB Diploma and/or the Official Peruvian Graduation Certificate.
Throughout the four years of high school, students engage collaboratively and independently in multiple student-designed projects to facilitate an increased understanding of themselves as learners and provide opportunities to explore curricular and/or co-curricular interests. The High School curriculum is transitioning to a fully standards based curriculum in the 2017-18 school year. The FDR curriculum is designed to provide students a broad exposure to the the core academic disciplines and elective courses as well as opportunities for project based learning across the disciplines. In Grades 9 and 10 students study core academics, Fine or Performing Arts and Design Technology to build a strong foundation of academic content and skills essential for success in our rigorous college preparatory program. Students in Grades 11 and 12 have increased academic course choices through the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme curriculum to facilitate their successful transition to postsecondary studies. In addition to course choice within our program of study, students can further diversify their learning experience by enrolling in the Innovation Academy, a trans-disciplinary project learning based program for students in Grades 10-12.
