IB study option

<p>I do not know where to post IB related, …… Have you been in our D’s shoes? If so, share your experiences please! </p>

<p>Our local school district will start offering IB Diploma Program next year for current sophomore high school kids. I have a D, 12, an 8th grader in middle school but has been in high school for the math (and science). D is in AP Calculus BC currently with juniors/seniors, and in biology with sophomores. As she is advanced, the school told us that it’s almost impossible for her to be in meaningful IB program after waiting 2 more years to get started IB. For example, not to mention that she is over-qualified in math already, although she is in a science class with current sophomores now and they can take IB science next year but she is the only one cannot from the class, because you have to be a junior. Taking IB classes while in her freshman/sophomore will not be counted for her IB diploma. </p>

<p>So IB is really not for her? Even suppose the diploma is not for her under this circumstance, can she still take individual IB classes in freshman/sophomore year for her pleasure, like IB science next year with current sophomore classmates? The school said no one would be allowed in pre-junior year, for diploma or not. Any school web info available I can use to refer to the school that she still should be allowed to take individual IB classes next year?</p>

<p>How is this related to MIT?</p>
