[quote=Anonymous]I teach in a STEM program and my kids went/are going through the IB program. Like the PP who posted a schedule said, it's writing intensive, it focuses on critical thinking across disciplines, it focuses on depth over breadth of knowledge and there's a faculty adviser for the EE, which is a good exercise in working with faculty prior to college. And to the poster that claimed the program was inferior because it doesn't cover post-calc math? Listen, there is a huge issue in over acceleration in math. When students arrive, many have re-do these courses because they did not have the depth of knowledge necessary. I much, much prefer building depth (IB) over breadth (AP). It's a matter of preference of course, though.[/quote]
