My DS also seems to be frighten off by the school expectation of their IB students....

I believe many ACS(I) students had made it to local Universities with their reasonable IB scores so should be alright.

Anyway if you look at the SJI IP Track Leadership Panel, there are already representatives from NUS, NTU and SMU on it too.

SJI is starting the JC 1 batch this year (2013) so by the time the first batch of IP starts JC 2 in (2017), they should be already their 4th batch of IB students taking the exams so SJI should be well prepared to get the desired results.
