I think the point that PP was getting at is that the regional magnets are now offering the same 9th and 10th grade cohort classes as RM does. Previously, all students were mixed in general Honors classes, so they didn't get some of the higher rigor with writing, critical thinking, and problem solving that helps students be successful in the Diploma Programme. The are also offering more courses and more with both SL and HL level. They can do this by having more students completing the program and preparing them better in 9th and 10th grade.
This! Springbrook's IB Coordinators are fantastic and work together seemlessly, they both seem to be able to answer questions for each other and are willing to engage with us. The staff up the rigor of the regional magnet courses (as compared to the regular honors courses, my DC says they are boring and slow), and have way more hands on learning opportunities. The coordinators are working with a parent group to support the program and provide a real magnet experience. They are really trying their best to prepare the students, despite what I perceive as an unsupportive principal who is all over the place.
