[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but can’t anyone apply to be in W-L’s IB program, regardless of their Arlington address? I [b]don’t know what that would look like for a rising sophomore though. I think you may need to start as a freshman.[/b]

Agree about 22202 if you want to be close to Amazon and the city. You could walk to work. And even if you can’t do the IB program at W-L, you could definitely take APs at Wakefield.[/quote]

The IB program is for 11th-12th grades so you might be able to apply for the transfer for pre-IB if coming in as a sophomore and there happened to be space (doubtful). However, there are specific requirements:

Have to have taken "intensified" (what other schools would call "honors") for the core classes in 9th-10th
Be in level 4 of a world language in 10th grade.  
Have taken Geometry or greater in 9th grade (so would be in Alg 2 in 10th)
And, kids doing IB take the required US/VA Government class in 10th grade because there is no space for it in the 11th-12th schedule.  So, if you transferred in and hadn't started that at whatever school you left I think you'd have to see if you could take it in summer school.[/quote]
