[quote=Anonymous]My kids went to an IB MYP middle school. The noteworthy differences vs the non-IB MS in the district... World language required all three years and a wider variety of languages offered Community service hours required in 6th-7th and a community service project in 8th that was then presented to the younger grades A lot of emphasis on writing "reflections", that is writing about what your learned or performed and how you can continue to improve. These were done in all classes including PE and band after a unit of study was completed or, for band, after a major performance. We didn't seek out the school, it happened to be what we're zoned for but I think it was a good program. My kids hated the "reflections" but I do think that process is worthwhile. There was also a lot of emphasis on character and my kids, at least, did have a nice group of friends and I did not hear of any bullying complaints.[/quote]
