[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=amaheshw]Anytime have thoughts on RMIB vs Kennedy IB? I understand that the curriculum is standardized, but RM is larger and better known than Kennedy.  Any objective advice on how to choose one over the other?[/quote]

RMIB has the stronger cohort and curriculum. The curricula are not exactly the same, though of course they meet IB standards. If your objective is top rigor, RMIB, though know it will be intense. If you're just looking for an IB diploma, and an experience that is a little less intense, Kennedy.[/quote]
If the commute to one school is significantly shorter than to the other school, choose the one with a shorter commute. Over time, that extra 30+ minutes a day add up, and good access to the school means it’s easier for you kid to be more fully involved in ECs, athletics, and general school activities (attending games, plays, dances, etc.)[/quote]

I agree about commute. I object about the "rigor" comment. I think there's probably less internal pressure at Kennedy, probably smaller classes, but the program is still quite challenging.

I would go to whichever one has the shorter commute. [/quote]
