[quote=Anonymous]It is relentless amount of hard work, huge workload and very tough curriculum.  My kid found it overwhelming in 9th and 10th.   Once my kid was admitted in college (December of senior year), the RMIB office did a fantastic job of making sure that did stay motivated and on track and fulfilled the IB diploma requirement.

Benefits in hindsight from parent's perspective - An amazing world-class education unlike what the rest of US high-schoolers are getting. A lack of energy and time to get into the mischief and mayhem like other hs kids. Easy college application. College is ridiculously easy now. Boatload of college credits and merit scholarships.  Friendships with an amazing group of high achievers.

Cons - The biggest fallout is stress, lack of sleep and resulting health issues. I do not want to minimize that at all.  Make sure that your kid chooses this program and not you. I found that the students who were not doing this because their parents wanted them were happier and less stressed.

In the end, they all came out with flying colors. It is amazing that only one or two dropped out and every single one got their diploma.
