[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI is all-IB I believe?

Technically Eastern has one but I don't actually believe it and wouldn't send my kid there anyway.

We are actually very interested in an IB program and considering moving out of DC to get one. Not for college admissions but because I like the approach and I think it teaches kids to write well and also how to think academically in a way that is more similar to college (and thus might ease the transition to college, wherever they go). I look at a lot of high school curriculums and it's just so disjoined and about ticking off boxes in different subjects. IB sounds more cohesive and allows kids to study more deeply into areas of interest, and also to learn to write well on those areas of interest.

I don't think IB is the only way to get this, but given some of the pitiful HS offerings in this area, I like that it is a cohesive approach to secondary education. [/quote]

Wow, quite the opinionated answer to a question that can be answered factually.

Yes, Eastern and Banneker for DCPS - https://dcps.dc.gov/ib

And DCI for charter - https://dcinternationalschool.org/academic-program/international-baccalaureate/[/quote]

OP asked for opinions. [/quote]
