[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this thread could give you the impression that nobody at DCI cares about students scoring high on IBD or being admitted to highly competitive colleges. That's not true. There's a group of us that does care and has since the feeder and middle school years. We support one another. It's just that we're low-key about our ambitions and extra prep to avoid becoming lightning rods for accusations of elitism and tiger parenting.

One thing some of us do is collect and share Oxford IB subject study guides and have kids get together to work with tutors with IB exam prep experience.

My eldest just returned from the UK where they attended a 10-day mid-IBD subject review program (post 11th grade) with Oxford Study Courses. We know a DCI family who did the same thing in Vienna with IBWise in conjunction w/a vacation. A few of the families are considering sending younger sibs to Sevenoaks school in Kent, England next summer for a couple weeks of intensive prep for Higher Level subjects. The program isn't all that expensive if the kids stay off campus w/a parent chaperone.

Just because we can't afford WIS and won't move to MoCo for IBD doesn't mean that we're not investing in aiming high. There will be more of us at DCI in the future. Good luck, OP.[/quote]

Based on your post, I know a bunch of middle school parents, incoming and current, who would be interested in connecting with you to learn more. [/quote]
