[quote=Anonymous]In our experience, IB has been great for a strong but shy student who appreciates the social experience of navigating high school in a tight-knit, readymade peer group, the closest experience in public school to a private school. Yes, the 6-course pack is something of a drag. We roll with it because it comes with a group of peers taking most of the same fairly rigorous classes for four years. In a giant public high school, you can't put a price on an IB peer group. These are teens who accrue the benefit of both social and academic inputs. Rather than denigrate IB like the poster above, it pays to think more broadly about what the program offers students who are a particularly good fit for it. Fact is, no shortage of those "middle of the road" IBD grads at Ivies, top tech programs and all manner of elite universities around the world. [/quote]
