[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't believe the IB and the Blair CAP programs are meant to be comparable... but RMIB and the regional programs are (supposed to be) the same thing. As I understand it the regional IB programs were there already but will now be fleshed out to match RMIB? Maybe that is where half of RMIB's math department has disappeared to?[/quote]
I don't know where the math teachers went, however,  I haven't heard anything (positive or negative) about Kennedy IB regional program.  They only made it a regional program maybe two years ago.[/quote]

Next year is the first year of the regional program[/quote]

Correct--next year is the first year of the [i]regional[/i] program at Kennedy, but Kennedy has had an IB program since 2011, which has until now been available only to local and DCC students.[/quote]

MCPS has IB on offer at several schools. Some only have the diploma programme junior/senior year and some have the full four year cohort of students working through the "middle years" programme as well. RMIB was first in the eighties. Then Springbrook and BCC in the nineties and so on. They are all challenging and worthwhile because IB is challenging and worthwhile. The only "new" part here is that three schools that have been graduating IB students for the past 10-20 years are now competitive entry like RMIB and accepting commuter students like RMIB.

We looked at CAP also, BTW, and were really super excited by it... but that is not what played out for us. So congrats to your student! [/quote]
