[quote=Anonymous]First, our experience with IB at an MCPS HS (my kid is now a senior) was that he could not do the IB diploma program and do band. It had to do with the mix of SL (1-year) and HL (2-year) classes. My understanding is that different schools may have different classes as SL or HL, and the mix will determine how much room there is, if any, for non-IB classes in a students schedule. While my kid isn’t doing the diploma because of the band problem, most of his classes are IB. They are work. It seems on par with AP classes, maybe with more writing. My kid enjoys the writing, but does complain that IB writing is very specialized and you have to abandon ‘good’ writing practices to be successful at IB writing. Anyway, the main advantage of IB, in my mind, has been ensuring my kid is in classes that have high expectations and some rigor. [/quote]
