| yeah and those students wouldn't be doing all that if they weren't in IB?
IB isn't a magical motivator, those students are just naturally motivated.
If they were just taking AP classes instead, they would probably do all that and more, just because they would have more free time away from school work to engage in whatever independent academic endeavors they wish.
You will find bright kids whether they are in AP or IB doing all the things you listed. The program isn't going to change the person.
And CAS is not responsible for it either. CAS actually hinders your academic options, because it is very restrictive in what activities are approved for each of the three categories. |
