[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is a rising freshman at Einstein and there doesn’t seem to be any pre-IB classes. However, the IB courses offered in 11th and 12th grade seem similar to the IB classes at other schools (from the written course descriptions and course codes).

I asked someone who worked in CO with a child at RM about the differences between the 2 schools IB programs, specifically in 9th and 10th grade. She kept saying that RM’s 9/10 courses are a different program (MYP) and made it seem like the 11/12 options are similar. I am still confused why one school has an application for IB and the other doesn’t. This makes me think non-application based IB programs are not legit[/quote]

What do you meaN by "legit"?  RMIB happens to be a very popular and selective program which means that kids who are in it tend to have higher test scores than at other IB programs.  But it doesn't make the IB classes themselves any different than those at other schools (except I think there are a couple low-demand IB classes at RMIB and not elsewhere, like the very highest-level math class.)[/quote]
