[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI is the only one that follows the IB program with fidelity with any serious language tracks and offerings AND continues it into the high school curriculum with awarding the IB diploma.

For private, it’s WIS

I am not an expert/teacher in the school, but Eliot Hine does use the IB middle years program, and kids can choose to complete the IN program/get the diploma at Eastern High school across the street. They have a couple of tracks there including a health and medical sciences program and an IT academy and maybe some others - I think kids can also choose to take some courses from each if they want

I am someone who is familiar with all three schools and I can assure you, only DCI does IB correctly. And I don’t even think DCI is as good as people hype it up to be. But when it comes to IB, it is better than any DCPs school.[/quote]

I am sure this will come across as snarky, but I am honestly curious. Unless you work in the school system observing classrooms (which maybe you do) - how does one know how the curriculum is or is not taught at three different schools? This comes up on here a lot when people are asking which school they should choose 'a' or 'b' - and not many people are able to speak to both schools. People can describe their experiences at one vs the other, and the original poster can compare the responses - but that seems about the closest you can get. Also, with middle schools, parents aren't really in the classroom much anyway.

Again, not trying to be snide, I struggle with 'comparing' schools when trying to choose what is best for a specific kid, bc very rarely does somebody have direct experience with both. [/quote]
