I actually taught in the International Baccalaureate program before I stopped teaching to focus on parenting our five children. I am thinking a couple of them would benefit from a pre-IB curriculum and then a full IB program during the high school years. How prevalent is IB in Chicago public schools? Three of our children are adopted and do come from different cultural backgrounds. I love how IB delves deeply into the subject areas as well as it demands students take a cross-section of courses, even if they might not be strong in one particular area. What areas of Chicago have particularly strong IB program with high percentages of students who earn the IB diploma?
