[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What actually is the attraction to the IB programs? Aren't these just a different set of humanities requirements?

RMIB's program is attractive to people because it draws high performers from all over the county and includes more intensive writing classes. Other than this I can't see what is so compelling about it.

The IB programs at other schools don't seem to be attractive to others in any way. What am I missing?[/quote]
The IB diploma program requires the student to pass several IB exams.  I think a student can get an IB diploma from the local HSs too like the ones in Eintstein BCC. It's just that the RMIB is a county wide magnet program, so yes, it does draw the "smartest", and so your peer cohort will be very high performing.

I actually asked this question on the forum earlier -- what's the difference between RMIB and local IB like the ones in BCC.

I'm not sure if the program in Rockville HS has IB diploma, though. The website seems to indicate that it doesn't.[/quote]
