reyrob12 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 we have less than 20 people doing IB - and a few people might drop out. But 6 is really small. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
x___x Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Perfectly normal. the previous IB batch who have graduated 2009 were 7. On the other hand, we are only 6. IB students graduating next year are also 6. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsubaki Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I'm in a school of around 1000 students, and we have 10 IB students graduating this year, and 10 the year behind us. There's only 3 certificate candidates graduating this year.IB at my school isn't particularly popular, because most people prefer to take AP courses because they're shorter and easier. Also, we only offer Maths SL, so a lot of people are driven to take AP Calculus AB, which has a conflict with IB Maths SL in the schedule, meaning that those people can't do IB. It's a shame really; a lot of brilliant students who would have done really well ended up going for a couple of AP courses instead of IB, and I imagine that that was part of the issue. We also don't offer IB Physics, which is a turn off for some people, though you can take AP Physics and still complete IB as long as there's enough demand for it.

Globe Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Wow that's crazy! I go to a school of about 700 (so there are, mathematically speaking 350 in 11th-12 grades that can do IB) and we have.. only about 9 of us doing our Diploma.

kingdomx Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Depends on what other education programs your school has. In our school we have NCEA and IB, and the majority do IB, as it is recognized globally, unlike NCEA which is only helpful if you want to stay in New Zealand. Usually the people who can handle the burden that IB leaves you, choose IB over NCEA, which is the 'easier option' out of the two. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrödinger's Cat Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 We started with 22-23 students at the start of the year doing IB... now it's only 18!The most we have in one class is 13 (our English A1 class).I love the small classes. But it's true that if something goes wrong (in terms of classmates/friends) it's sooooo awkward... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Carl Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) ~130 students in the IB diploma and ~115 in pre-ib. On a general scale it may seem like many students are enrolled in the programme, however our school population is 1500 students, which is about ~8.3% of the student body in the IBDP, population is a primary factor. Also we have a lot of depth and variety in IB classes to suit many students' needs. Edited September 1, 2010 by -Carl Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
