[quote=Anonymous]We've been happy with the IB program and it didn't require any special preparation in MS other than just develop good learning/study habits like you would for any college prep coursework. If you are intending to do a full diploma it can be helpful to get a full year of language done in middle school but even that isn't too hard to work around if it doesn't happen. Our HS has IB and AP and so you can do full IB diploma or do a combo load of selected IB classes and AP classes and still be considered having the most "rigorous course load" for competitive colleges. I like how IB has some courses you do standard level and some higher level, and there's choices of different courses--so there's flexibility even if you are doing the full diploma. The course weighting makes a huge difference in GPA and FCPS only reports weighted GPA (though different colleges may re-calculate on their own admissions).[/quote]
