[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BCC parent here: your kids don't need to do the IB program to be eligible for schools in Europe, although I'm sure it can help. Most kids who do the program aren't doing it for that reason. IB is academically rigorous and very well-regarded, but it emphasizes a specific model of learning and is not a great fit for all kids across the board. So be prepared that if you choose BCC, it's possible that your kids won't necessarily want to go the IB route.

BCC is a terrific school, so is Whitman. There's a trope that Pyle is somehow 'better' than Westland (or Silver Creek, which is the second feeder MS for BCC.) I've never heard anyone articulate how or why. My kids have had very good educational and social experiences, with widely diverse friend groups by every measure and (for the older one) very successful college outcome. I don't know how much of this would be different if they had gone to a different MS or HS. [/quote]

Can you say more about what type of student the IB model is good for? -NP[/quote]
