[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would go with DCI hands down if your kid is considering the IB diploma track.  Strong writing and critical thinking skills in a comprehensive program.  In addition, a mini-thesis that will set him apart when applying to colleges.

Your kid can take some HL exam junior year and get scores.  Your kid can take a few AP exams too before applying to college.  Yoir kid will stand out and have a much better shot at getting into good colleges if he does well in the diploma program.  AP kids are a dime a dozen, not so IB.

JR is definitely way more chaotic, overcrowded, and bigger then DCI.  Also it’s very difficult to get into many of the courses needed.

It’s not difficult to get into any needed course at JR…what nonsense is this.[/quote]

Yup. Categorically untrue.[/quote]

I have two kids that have gone through the school- neither has had an issue getting into classes they have wanted (one graduated with 12 APs, the other is on track to graduate with 10-11)...having said that, popular classes can be very large so if that is an issue for you/your child, JR might not be a great fit.[/quote]
