[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think all the kids are straight A students.  Mine has at least one B.  And I know she is considered kind of a grinder by others —. Let of her friends do not have straight As and they are all top students applying to top schools.  I think it’s really hard to always get As because some times you get a teacher that is just checked out.  (That happened to her during the pandemic and the teacher ended up leaving the school.)

[b]It is very stressful with a lot of work but the kids are mostly supportive and non judgmental so it seems to me like maybe fewer mental health issues than other schools. [/b] But kids really have to want to do it—don’t push your kid into it.

Mine self studied for a few APs but in some subjects the IB class is pretty close to the AP material — the teacher will tell you if that’s the case.  I think something like AP Euro would be really hard to self study for, as the IB social studies class is quite different.  But the math and sciences are pretty similar.

Just want to echo this.  My kid is in the RMIB and her friends are super supportive.  They do work hard, but they help each other and most of them seem to thrive on the challenge.

My kid knows that we don’t expect straight As and that we would much prefer that she is being challenged and getting Bs than being at her home school and easily getting As.

I’m super grateful that my kid got into the RMIB and recognize/appreciate it for the unique experience that it is.  [/quote]
