IB Math HL: Students who were enrolled in IB Math SL used to be given the option to study and write the IB Math HL exam. This was discontinued because students taking the HL exam were not receiving 240 hours of instruction, as required for HL subjects by the IB. This was a violation of the policy of IB and thus was ordered to be discontinued by IB.
