[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the posters read the OP's question. She didn't ask what's wrong with IB programs.

I actually am following this thread because we are trying to decide whether staying in an IB school makes sense based on our kids strengths.

It sounds like the students write a lot. How is this accomplished? Because in my experience writing is very grading intensive.

Is the theory of knowledge course an actual after school class? or is it a class students take during the day.

Could someone share what a typical course path would look like for an IB kid?[/quote]

I have a junior at an IB HS. He will be taking TOK during the school day. It is scheduled to be during spring of junior year and fall of senior year, so they end up with a free period/study hall during fall semester of junior year and spring of senior year.

World History honors
Spanish 2
Algebra 2/trig honors
Bio honors
