Got to visit SL Biology today! They’re working on mesocosm models for sustainable ecosystems and presenting in groups about different biomes. I was utterly impressed.
Great things are happening in Westwood IB!

What about the workload and rigor? "I stayed up late and studied hard in high school in IB, but I don't have to worry about knowing how to finish work in college because I know I will."
Advice for incoming students? "The IB Community is very close and it is important to have strong community in the program - it makes the whole experience"
Advice for incoming students? "Don't write off the classes that aren't STEM just because you don't think you will use them - classes like TOK will change you."
