Sorry, but on what basis are you speculating no HL classes?    DCI is offering HL foreign language, not just SL.  Starting with next year's Diploma Program students (that starts in 11th).[/quote]

Where are you getting this?  We talked to admins about HL preparation classes a month ago. They said they may offer HL for Spanish in a couple years, not in the fall (no students ready for it).  They also said that they have no current plans to offer HL Mandarin or French.  You must be confusing upper level Spanish classes with bona fide preparation for HL exams.[/quote]

I've talked to admins and teachers about this too, and I  think you are actually confusing readiness for dual/bilingual diplomas versus readiness for HL foreign language classes.  [/quote]

DP - we're at DCI, and they said they'd be offering HL language when they did a high school presentation earlier this year.

Also - not quoted above, but to the poster commenting about the career track.  The career track is not just for students who are not college bound.  I expect that there will be college bound kids who are interested in computer science who opt for the career program.  Please don't denigrate the career program unnecessarily and by extension the students in that track.  College is not for everyone - very rational people can determine that the debt just simply isn't worth it.

No one denigrated the career track. It is a good option for students who don't wish to immediately continue education past high school.

It is NOT a good option for a college bound student because it will not signal the most rigorous path to a college admissions office. The IB diploma is respected, but the career track is new, only exists at a handful of US high schools and is, in fact, meant for students who wish to immediately start careers.[/quote]
