APS IB program and music?

[Anonymous]

At some point in the last year I recall hearing that IB students at W-L were losing access to the regular music program due to the way they were setting up IB schedules. Do any current parents know if this is still the case or if APS is fixing this?

My 8th grader is interested in IB but would be very upset not to continue to participate in chorus in high school.

I heard the same but haven’t seen anything since maybe the spring about it.

Someone posted here that it would still be possible to do band or chorus or whatever, but that would have to be a student’s only non-IB class junior & senior year. Hopefully someone else knows for sure.

This is something that would be a good use of AEM!

I remember hearing something about this, but nothing recent.

You should ask at the HS info night

It was last month and wasn't recorded so anyone who was unable to attend in person doesn't have that information.

Everyone has to make choices. WL has the most to choose from. Life lessons.

DD told me that you can take band/orchestra and still be full IB, but there will be some classes you cannot take including Chinese, Arabic and Physics. There might be a longer list, but it sounds like there has been a resolution.
