“It is a great preparatory program, and the level of education and rigor offered by the program far surpasses that of standard high school classes.”

“the assignments required help for future experience”

“I think that it's important to take the most difficult curriculum possible. Colleges really look at that. Central's IB program definitely offers a challenge, but it's definitely manageable. If you don't already have time management skills, you will develop them in this program or you will not succeed. I love the environment that this program has to offer. It really motivates you to strive for your best.”

“It prepares you very well for college and it gives a person a sense of responsibility and growth. The knowledge gained from being in the IB program has increased dramatically.”

“I believe it makes a individual a student who is globally aware as well as just educated.”

“It provides a challenge to prepare you for college.”

“The methodology of learning the IB inspires will be with me forever.”

The main tenor of the open comments is: challenging, preparing, inspiring, motivating
