[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB is lots of writing and projects.  It also has a lot of requirements so kids who like band, arts or other things cannot fit them in the schedule.  It doesn't seem worth it to me.[/quote]
No, a lot of IB students have extra curricular activities: art, band, sports.[/quote]

Our band director said if you do full IB diploma you cannot fit band in.[/quote]

First year full IB - IB English1, TOK1, Math, IB History1, IB language, IB Science class, BAND.

Second year Full IB - IB English2, TOK2, IB Math, IB History2, IB language, IB ?, BAND.[/quote]

Unless band is only in (for example) Period 4, and one of your other IB classes is also only during (for example) Period 4.[/quote]

Yeah, it’s sometimes less about the number of credits and more about the availability of classes. I’d guess it’s probably easier at RMIB, which has more sections of the various IB courses.

My non-RMIB kid had to make a few compromises to get all the pieces to fit, but felt it was worthwhile for a well-rounded life.[/quote]
