What People are Saying About Wittenberg's I.B. Program
According to the IB website, "there are more than 3,900 high schools that teach IB programs. Those schools employ over 70,000 educators, teaching more than one million students worldwide." Additionally, the IB "offers a continuum of international education."
Conversations with families of IB students and IB coordinators about Wittenberg's new policy also continue to elicit strong support.
"This policy is absolutely phenomenal," said Eric Bringardner, International Baccalaureate coordinator for Dublin Coffman High School in Dublin, Ohio. Beyond offering credit, "it really gets at the heart of what it means to be an IB student and rewards their educational risk-taking both socially and academically. The sophomore status will allow students to further their intellectual curiosity, allow for potential double majors and alleviate schedule difficulties that frequently arise when planning semesters abroad. The advisor and banquet will help continue the cohort-like atmosphere that the IB program fosters."
"We are hearing such positive feedback, including 'Finally! A higher ed institution that fully understands IB. Probably one of the best IB policies in the nation'," noted Wittenberg Parents Association Co-Chairs Steven and Kristen Roach.
