[quote=Anonymous]New parent here Yes, there is a place for your non-TJ kid in the IB program. Please look at the math track on the FCPS page (or your local school's page) IB is designed for kids that are taking Algebra and a World Language as an 8th grader. If you have a 8th grader in Geometry, you are going to be ahead a year. The IB courses are two years and there are restrictions on taking HL exams as a Junior. (This is to support the "whole" student and not allow rushing through the program). My maybe TJ Kid (we'll find out on Friday) is really excited about doing IB at Robinson and has said he would rather do IB than TJ (but I don't know if that is to soften the blow if he doesn't get into TJ). I would have to agree that I liked the IB presentations better than the TJ open houses, but I'm a liberal arts undergrad (computer grad). Both are a big work load, but if your kid is an "8" they can do it. [/quote]
