[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] Definitely true though- the IB Diploma is more valuable than just taking individual IB or AP classes. The downside is that it really limits the student's ability to take multiple electives that are of interest to them.[/quote] Yes, that is why we opted against it. IB does require a capstone project and TOK (theory of knowledge) that teaches kids how to think critically through a lens of science, indigenous knowledge, religion, and so forth. There is an extended essay so if your child likes writing and research, this may be a good option. There is a volunteer requirement (separate from SSL; hours cannot be combined) and a lot of group/collaborative work, if your kid likes that. [/quote]
