[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the discussion is about RMHS, then it’s different than general IB.

RMIB offers classes weirdly named AP Calculus BC that are a requirement of the program. Or IB Multivariable as if it has anything to do with the IB program.

That’s part of the confusion, people think RMIB is a typical IB program but it far from that. It has more AP/post AP classes than most high schools.[/quote]

This is interesting.  If a student at RMIB can take, effectively, "IB" versions of AP Calc BC and MVC, fulfilling the requirements for the IB Diploma Programme without sacrificing either of those classes or requiring a student to take IB Analysis separately, that would seem to be a best-of-both-worlds offering.

If the other IB schools aren't offering this, they should, since there aren't enough seats at RM to accommodate all who would want that.[/quote]

You can also take IB Analysis for only one year instead of two. Not sure how that works but a student could take AP calculus BC one year and IB Analysis in the next year and still fulfill the diploma requirements. I’m not aware of any other school where this is possible, maybe others have better information.[/quote]

Since some poster talked about her child going to a CS program, at RMIB you can take AP CS Principles and AP Java in addition to IB computer science, and they would be counted as IB. There are many high school IB programs that don’t even offer a single class in computer science.[/quote]
