[quote=Anonymous]My family is coming from overseas. Our oldest went through an IB diploma program. We'd like for our younger child (currently a freshman in highschool) to be at a HS with an IB program. We like the curriculum and rigor. We were visiting friends last week and met a couple of people who have kids doing IB programs in MCPS. One Richard Montgomery and one at Albert Einstein. The Albert Einstein family mentioned that their kid took IB Chemistry, but that it was a joint AP/IB chemistry class, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. They are completely different curriculums (husband and I did AP classes back in the day). Richard Montgomery family said classes were only IB classes. The math at MCPS seems different than the IB math our oldest did. None of the IB classes seem to be labeled HL or SL. Is MCPS a real IB program? It seems to be accredited, and Richard Montgomery does have good Diploma rates. Help me understand which school to target - or is there a private option?[/quote]
