[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad you're kid is thriving at Walls.

Agree about the group project vibe in middle school, my DCI kids carried a few groups in the past. I looked at it as a learning experience as it's going to happen often throughout your professional life, so good to get used to it early and learn how to navigate it. :)

I will say this to others reading this, DCI High School is very different than middle school.  Especially the IB diploma years in 11th and 12th, which seem to be very challenging so far. We were offered a spot at Walls, but are glad we stayed at DCI.

Hope everyone finds the right fit for their kid.[/quote]

This is OP. I've heard this from several DCI HS families. Do you think the work gets more interesting as well as more challenging?

I think my kid might not even get into Walls with a mix of mostly 6s with some 5s and just one or two 7s, so it's good to hear that people stay and are happy. I'm also glad for this recent interest in a competitive school because I think my kid can do much better than those 5s if they work harder. A rejection might be good for them. In some ways I think if they were pushed more they would do better. And I thumbs down the group work because that's one reason mine won't work really hard after trying to carry a few projects but then getting a lower grade because the group as a whole didn't complete everything.[/quote]
