What others are saying about CP: “It really gets students the best of both worlds, gives [them] the career certification they would need but also provides them with what we know to be the rigor of the IB programme. Students who complete the programme would truly be college- and career-ready, not just in rhetoric but in fact.” Kyle P. Westbrook, Director of Magnet, Gifted, and Talented Programs, Chicago, IL, USA. “IB Program Adds Career- Pathway Programme”. Education Week. 12 June, 2012.
