[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] IB doesn't start until 11th grade. Jefferson's program is not really IB; it's just a framework for connecting dots. One DC graduated full IB from W-L and another is at Yorktown. From experience, I can unequivocally say that W-L is far superior to YHS. [/quote] Jefferson's program is the IB "Middle Years Programme" which is different from the HS IB. When my kids went there a few years ago some of the aspects they made it unique vs other MSs was the world language required all three years, community service requirement, design-tech elective, 8th grade service project. And they had to do a lot of "reflections", short writing assignments after completion of a unit or project or performance to reflect on how you did and how to improve. My kids really hated they aspect of it. It does sound like a useful exercise but maybe don't too frequently.[/quote]
