[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Joining IB in 11th grade is like jumping onto a moving train. People have no clue how difficult IB is. It is incredibly hard even if you start in 9th grade. All these crazy talk about “you can join in 11th grade” is total nonsense. [/quote]

You don’t seem to have much clue. The IB by definition begins in 11th grade! Grades 9 and 10 are covered by the MYP, which all students at RM do. The difference is whether you are in the magnet cohort and with the magnet classes [/quote]
dp.. yes, but those RMS magnet classes in 9th and 10th are *hard*. They do a good job preparing the kids for the IBDP, whereas the MYP does not.

I have two kids, one who went through RMIB and one not in IB but at RM.

The one not in IB is taking some IB and AP classes. That is the advantage of being at RM. You don't have to be in the IBDP to take IB classes. The RMS classes are reserved only for the RMIB magnet students, but the IB classes are not.

Every year there are a handful of kids who join RMIB in 11th grade, and it's tough for them. The RMIB diploma rate for that cohort is not as high as it is for the magnet cohort. Even so, if they are up to the challenge, they can join.  Can't do that from Wootton.[/quote]

Can’t jump through the same hoops to feel like a special IB snowflake?  Just excel academically without all the pretentiousness?  Doesn’t sound like such a bad deal.  [/quote]
