NTGs starts in 9th grade, unless the kid has an older birthday (redshirted). That's why I'm confused about PP's statement. Someone that was accepted into RMIB would be currently in 8th grade, correct? |
| I know RMIB kids who swim for Machine. School is work, but not all encompassing. Most kids are in clubs & activities too. |
NTG/Advanced Seniors/Seniors start at 13 according to RMSC It is true --hardly middle school kids make to NTG, often they stay in NDG (which they have to move out). OP may already know the kid will swim NTG next season. |
| Doesn't IB require certain activities which sports can count for? |
Does he swim at the Rockville pool? |
| Yes. My kid is an 8th grader. You are right that the kid is in NDG now and we project him to be moved up to NTG end of spring and continues as a 9th grader beyond. I should have made it clear from the posting above. We are concerned with the NTG crazy swim schedule and RMIB. |
Are you part of the RMSC Parent FB page? Maybe some there can guide you better. Swimming with NTGs is a time intensive activity. You can see if any parents have swimmers that have/are attending a magnet program. |
I tried looking, can you please share the link? |
PP: Never mind, I was looking for RMIB parent page. Anyone? |
There’s a RMIB Foundation FB page |
