[quote=Anonymous]Yes you can transfer.  We're slated to go to Lake Braddock, great school, which is why we bought our house where we did.  However it's AP and not IB.  Robinson is the IB school and has the MYP there as well.  We've already spoken to them and yes you can pupil place for the program.  It's in year 3 of 5 for transitioning to the MYP.

More importantly, I'm not sure what to do for 7/8.  Is is better to stay in AAP or switch to MYP?

I too agree that I want to go the IB route, think kids learn a lot more in a broader way.  My child is also very STEM focused which although great, I don't think FCPS does a great job at writing and I'd like for him to be more balanced.  Not to say that he couldn't obviously still do STEM but just want there to be more essays (versus bubble filling) and true international experience.

It's kind of like which test is better - the SAT or ACT?  Used to be SAT for two specific areas but ACT is more well rounded and increasing in popularity.  At the end of the day, either one is fine :)[/quote]
