What is IB?
At JL Long Middle School, students take eight classes over two days through a block schedule. All students take four core classes:
- Mathematics,
- Language and Literature (English Language Arts),
- Science, and
- Individuals and Societies (Social Studies).
All students also take a Physical Education class, a Language Acquisition class, a Design class, and an Arts class.
Students in each grade level have several options to meet the requirements for their Physical Education, Language Acquisition, Design, and Arts classes. These options are listed in the chart below.
