IB really taught me to manage my time. Before IB, I rarely studied and was able to do a million and one things. But with IB, I learned to pick the activities that were most important to me, and I learned how to say no. That made college easier, because I know how to study first and play later.Rochelle Reinert

IB has helped tremendously in adapting to college. The most important part of IB isn't the diploma but the study skills you gain from the program. While it seems like a lot of work at the time, it is worth it in the end. Plus, the fact that you made it through IB will give you confidence in yourself and respect from teachers because they will automatically know you are a hard worker. You also get the most dedicated teachers USD 308 has to offer. I am very thankful to have been able to participate in this program.
