[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I second (or third or fifth) that there is no comparison in terms of workload. If your kid finishes RMIB there is absolutely no way they are not totally prepared for any college. So that is a big deal but the sacrifice is enormous and they are probably already going to be prepared since they were accepted in the first place.  Only do RMIB if your child really loves spending time on academics.[b] Poolesville is also a great program but more like choosing the top classes at any school but having smart kids in all your classes (and great teachers).[/b]  The workload allows for plenty of other interests.

That's not true. DD is in Global but has a best friend in Humanities and she says that they have for example a 15 page paper due next week and they have 3-7 page papers due almost every week.  [/quote]

Kids in other schools in mostly AP classes have papers due too.  Their peer group and grading requirements are not what is at Poolesville.  However, what I have stated is true .  The program is not that much more of a workload -- not compared to the jump from that program to RMIB.  Do not misunderstand, I am not saying RM is better. Just explaining the difference to OP.[/quote]

PP again with daughter in Global. I don’t know how many 9th graders have so many papers due. Seems like a very heavy workload from what I can see.[/quote]
