[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you all know that Eastern High School is going to have the IB Diploma Program (11th and 12th grades).  It obviously won't be for everyone and will be a small cohort within the school.  Two of the middle schools that feed into Eastern, Eliot Hine and Jefferson, are currently working on IB Middle Years Program certfication.  In Middle Years ( 6 to 10th grade ), the entire school participates and is organzied around the IB philosophy. By 11th grade it is only the most advanced and motivated students who can handle the program.

I don't know if the plan is to just ignore the 9th and 10th grades of the middle years program, or to carry it through.

Just wondering if people would consider Eastern with its IB Diploma program for high school. [/quote]

It sounds nice.

The problem is that I don't believe more than 25% (at best) of the student body will enter the school at proficient levels, so my confidence in the ability to deliver on a true IB program isn't there.

Plus, it's easy to promise anything.  Eastern hasn't been awarded any level of status from the IB organization, so it's really all talk at this point.[/quote]
