[quote=Anonymous][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]
That person is confused or did not articulate clearly.

RM has RMS designated classes for 9th/10th magnet students - RMS English, for example. Those classes are ONLY available to IB magnet students.  The in cluster non magnet students cannot take those classes.[/quote]
To be clear, MYP is the entire school, and it starts from JWMS to 10th grade at RM.  That is for all 9th/10 grade students at RM, however, MYP doesn't mean being able to take RMS classes, which again, is only for IB magnet students (of course, there are those who are in the RM cluster who are also in the IB magnet).

I've had one kid go through RMIB magnet and one not.  MYP is really meaningless.   There are no special MYP classes, but there are special 9th/10th IB magnet classes only for those in IB magnet.[/quote]
