[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended Whitman and I chose WJ for my children because it is a bit more diverse and the student body seems a little less entitled.  I believe the IB program at BCC is available to those outside the BCC area if you are interested in that, although I would probably chose Richard Montgomery over BCC if my kids were going the IB route.[/quote]

No, BCC IB program is not available to kids outside the BCC cluster.  If you want an IB program, but don't live in a high school cluster that offers HS IB, you must apply to Richard Montgomery's IB program which is very competitive.  All kids who live in BCC can opt (w/o competitive application) for the full IB program or a less intense IB certificate.  Students can combine IB and AP classes.

We live in BCC area specifically for the IB option.  Our kids have been in magnet elementary and middle school programs, but I will not send to RM for IB since I don't think the marginal improvement in BCC IB v. RM IB is worth the huge distance/logistical issues.
