[quote=Anonymous]PP, the IBO does not directly oversee an ES or MS (PYP or MYP) after accreditation the way it evaluates students at the HS program. In other words, at the PYP level, once the school is accredited, it is the teachers' evaluations and grades that determine success in the curriculum, just like any other ES school. So, what you get at the PYP level is just the IB framework. The same is true at the MYP level, although schools may opt to have their grades validated by IB external evaluators. Only at the HS level is it required that the assessments that determine the success of the student in IB be conducted by the IB evaluators to grant the Diploma.

So, if you, as a parent, are interested in IB as a rigorous, international diploma that validates your child's academic success beyond the public school environment, know that the before high school, you don't get rigorous assessment and evaluation, necessarily, in the early year IB programs. They are a curriculum framework, like many others, subject to the skills and perceptions of the individual school teacher.[/quote]
