Open up a Math AA HL class in french
We ask the school to reopen Math AA HL in French for the 12–13 students who chose it. The class was cancelled just before the start of the school year, and those students were left with no choice but to take the subject in English.
This decision affects more than one group of students. Moving an entire class into the English AA HL sections makes those classes larger for everyone. In a subject like Math AA HL, where students need enough teacher support, small groups matter. When class sizes grow too much, it becomes harder to ask questions, follow the lesson, and get the help needed to do well.
Families and students made their choice in French for a reason. For some, it is the language they learn best in. For others, it is the setting that gives them the confidence to keep up with a demanding course. Cancelling the French class after so many students chose it is unfair and unnecessary, especially when the school could instead support both language options.
We believe the school should respect student choice and make room for Math AA HL in French. This would help the students who signed up for it and also keep the English classes from becoming overcrowded. We ask the school to reinstate Math AA HL in French and give students the fair access they were promised.

Opening this rigorous class in French would be beneficial to all, and would result in higher overall IB grades as in that way all students can perform in their language. The school claims to be bilingual, so it seems only fair to have this class as an option, especially for a course that impacts so many students. We were all promised an opening in this class at the end of the school year, only to quietly receive news barely a week before the start of school that this will not be an option.
It is an unfair decision to remove a French HL math class for students to whom it was promised and who worked very hard over 3 years to get the required grades in order to take it. Furthermore, the IB shouldn’t be the time to have to relearn the a subject in a whole different language. This gives us a disadvantage compared to other students who don’t need to spend as much time on the subject. Please make the IB fair for everyone.
My friends deserve to have an equal chance too succeed in math as me, if they suddenly change language they are at a disadvantage.
Opening a Maths AA HL class in French would not only allow me to understand and learn the complex content of Maths HL more effectively in a more comfortable learning environment, but it would also benefit students in the English Maths AA HL class by creating a smaller class size and, consequently, a better learning environment for everyone.
That way my friends get an equal chance as others doing IB HL Maths
it’s very important to my friends
It’s important for my classmates and our learning as a group all together

Nous trouvons inadmissible la suppression des Mathématiques HL AA en français dans notre école. Même si nous ne suivons pas tous ce cours, certains de nos amis en dépendent pour leur parcours scolaire et leurs projets d’études supérieures. Ils ont choisi cette matière en pensant pouvoir la poursuivre en français. Nous demandons donc à l’école de reconsidérer cette décision et de trouver une solution pour permettre aux élèves concernés de continuer les Maths HL AA en français.
