[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8th grade parent here My kiddo got into the Kennedy IB program and our home school has excellent academics, so there is no bad option. Why should (or shouldn’t) we pick Kennedy?[/quote] Because we both agree about the cohort. I don't mean this in an "exclusive" way. I mean this in a having the opportunity to move through four years with the same kids doing the same things. If that's important, pick Kennedy. If after school clubs are important to you, don't pick Kennedy. If sports are important to you, in terms of getting a spot, pick Kennedy. If well-funded sports are important to you, do not. And your kid *may* have a competitive edge coming from Kennedy IB and getting into college. But be realistic. Don't expect an involved parent body, or a well-funded PTA, or very many of the bells and whistles other schools get. The kids can go to Europe with the English department, but that's a self-pay, extracurricular thing. [/quote]
