The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is a strong program, but SAS is not considering IB. Much like College Board does with Advanced Placement courses, the IB program is overseen by a regulating body and has a prescribed curriculum that is audited yearly. The limits of the IB program are similar to the limits of an AP program as external assessments often dictate a school’s schedule, curriculum and how students spend their instructional time. Further, when we analyzed IB we found it to be even less flexible than the AP program, and inconsistent with our DSLOs.
