IB 101 FOR PARENTS(and students)
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE
2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the IB Programme. Here at RM we have the Middle Years Programme (grades 9 and 10) and the Diploma Programme (grades 11 and 12). Magnet students enjoy the benefits of the MYP program in grades 9 and 10 and do not officially enter the DP until their junior year. The Diploma Programme takes place during junior and senior year and includes coursework, required IBO assessments, and externally assessed exams.
MAGNET
Richard Montgomery High School has had an magnet International Baccalaureate Programme since 1987. The RM program attracts students who seek a challenging academic IB programme. Magnet 9th and 10th grade students apply for acceptance and take many of their classes with the cohort. About 40 RM students enter the Diploma Programme during their junior year.
