Robinson Secondary is an IB World School (to find what this means, CLICK HERE).  Robinson also offers some AP courses in certain subject areas.  IB/AP courses are college level courses primarily for 11th and 12th graders.  Robinson’s Honors courses (previously named Pre-IB courses) are primarily for 9th or 10th graders to prepare them for the IB and AP classes in their academic future.  All Honors courses add a .5 to the student’s GPA that is calculated at the end of the academic school year.  To see what Robinson courses are weighted, CLICK HERE.
Robinson Secondary is an open enrollment school.  We believe that all students should strive to take the most challenging curriculum and be academically successful.
