[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS doesn’t do differentiation in English/Language Arts. [b]I have kids at Deal and there is nothing for English.[/b] DCPS is uninterestedin serving kids at the upper end of the bell curve.[/quote]

They don't at Deal - and that is consistent with the IB MYP curriculum. IBO schools do not track until high school. Deal did get permission to do the DCPS math sequence, rather than the IB-standard integrated math.

Other MS have offered some differentiation in humanities and social studies (Hardy, Stuart Hobson). [/quote]

It's a myth that IBD schools following the MYP curriculum "don't track until high school." You've made this point on other threads and it's always nonsense.   Where are you getting this from?

Five years ago, I taught at a public school following the MYP which offered two or three different levels of IBD classes in several subjects - English, math and science.  The school is in NYC and is accredited by Geneva IB.  There are private schools in DC offering MYP that track, including WIS.[/quote]
