[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you will be returning to Australia in a few years I think you’re on the right track with WIS. The IB curriculum should (at least in theory) make it much easier to transition between school systems for your kids. [/quote] The IB is for 11th and 12th grades. Her kids are 9 and 12yo. The younger one would probably be joining the full immersion program. [/quote] While the IB diploma program is indeed just for 11th and 12th grades, the IB Primary and Middle Years programs cover elementary, middle, and the beginning of high school. WIS follows the PYP program for preschool through fifth grades. I don’t know why they don’t have the MYP for 6 - 10th grades, but presumably they must be reasonably aligned if students are coming from the PYP and are prepared for the diploma program in 11th grade.[/quote]
