[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there before and after school classes? That doesn't seem like it should be allowed. How do kids get home? Does high school have a late bus, too?[/quote]

[b]I believe every IB high school in the county offers the required IB course, Theory of Knowledge, after school.[/b]  Students who do the full IB diploma are unable to take a band, or music class (or another non IB elective) and get the diploma because there aren't enough periods in the day.  Therefore, the schools offer a section of TOK after school so the students can fit it all into their schedule.  Another reason why IB is more expensive than AP.[/quote]

Robinson offers it during the school day, not after school. They still have 20% of the school graduate as diploma candidates, having done the whole thing. Many are also in music classes or on a sports team or in high level art. They aren't mutually exclusive.

You also can absolutely take IB a la carte the way you do AP and still take a zillion music classes.

I hate IB for a bunch of reasons, but it is not restrictive. It is absolutely as flexible as AP if you take individual courses vs. the whole diploma.[/quote]
