[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Foreign language for 5 years, TOK, etc are not requirements of IB courses, only the diploma (which completely unnecessary if the student doesn’t want to do it). Please, if you are going to argue against IB, pick things that actually matter. There is plenty to complain about with regards to the program, but you sound super uninformed and biased when you complain about things that are options, not mandates.[/quote]

Can an IB student graduate from high school with college credits in Chemistry, Physics, Bio, 2 calculus classes, 2 english classes, 2 history classes, government class, economics, stats music theory, multivariable or linear algebra?

AP schools have students who regularly do this

Mine graduated with Ap credits in;  chemistry, physics, calculus AB, 2 history classes, 1 government class, literature, language (writing), music theory and stats.

The other kid had the same credits plus econ instead of stats.

My lower average kid who struggles with writing will graduate with AP credits chemistry,  biology, pre calculus, calculus AB, stats, 2 history classes, government and no AP writing or English classes because they are weak in language.  She was able to load up on math, science and history, while avoiding difficult writing classes entirely.

Is that possible with the structure of the IB curriculum?[/quote]
