IB Programs require two language exposure ONE BEING NATIVE LANGUAGE.
Just want to clarify.
English dominant (HL) and Spanish/Mandarin/French/etc (SL) satisfies this requirement.

This is the first time I've heard the goal of CMI is to send children on to IB high school.   What's the leap from IPC to IB?  What are the differentiators?[/quote]

Thanks for the clarification on language.

IPC is the elementary school program/IMYC is for middle school.   http://www.greatlearning.com/imyc/

With similar goals to grow international minded, critical thinkers - its not a leap to think that successful graduates of either an IB or IMYC middle school program would go on to an IB curriculum (which technically starts in 10th grade, no?)    I think most parents at CMI who are interested in the middle school would envision their children continuing a college prep/international curriculum.  The CMI administration argues that the IMYC program is particularly attuned to how to motivate the teenage brain.  British International School is also using the IMYC curriculum to prep students for its IB High School.[/quote]
