If you choose two languages from group 1, no language from group 2 is chosen. Vardafjell Upper Secondary School currently does not offer subjects in group 6 - The arts. 

 

All subjects cover two years. HL (higher level) subjects are 5 lessons a week, SL (standard level) are taught 3 lessons a week. During the two years of the IB, this constitutes 240 HL lessons and a minimum of SL lessons. The student normally chooses 3 HL subjects and 3 SL subjects.
