How much more work is RM's IB than Eastern?  [/quote]

I graduated from IB (BCC) just over 10 years ago, so take it with a grain of salt, surely things have been modified since then.  IB was a LOT of work, in that you're doing college-level classes and need to put in the requisite amount of time.  As with college, I was expected to do a lot of reading and independent thought/ analysis outside of the classroom; I recall writing a research paper in math, and 30+ page thesis in Theory of Knowledge.  However, teachers were very accessible, so while there were many late nights, it set me up for success in college.  I was able to do a number of after-school activities (crew, pit orchestra, some charitable activities, etc.) while doing IB, and it made me learn to manage my time efficiently since there was no other option.  I enjoyed the interdisciplinary aspect, so when you learn vectors in physics it would connect with what you learned in math, and you'd explore how the theories were discovered in Theory of Knowledge, as well as the international aspect.
