I have been mulling over IB for DD who will be a 5th grader next year. Our district overs multiple options for middle school. We have magnet schools with IB programs, a single gender charter school that is top rated in the state, and we also have magnet schools with singular focuses - ie, an arts magnet middle, a science and math magnet middle, and also a business magnet middle. I used to be of the belief that DD would not be a good candidate for the IB program as she tends to repel from any rote-learning. Her learning style seems to be - get exposed to the information, mull it over, test on it, and move on. She resists reviewing the info at any cost.
My initial research on IB was that concepts and learning chunks were drawn out and that she would dislike that immensley. But now, the more research I do, the more I tend to think that IB could be a fit for her. Does anyone have experience with IB in middle school?
Thanks
