Grade 11 will begin their Extended Essay journey in November! We have a new guide starting this year (attached) with some major changes. If anyone is interested in supervising a student in Grade 11 that has perhaps not supervised in the past, please come and see me. In particular I am looking for someone to supervise Psychology and Economics Extended Essays. guide_extended_essay2018
