Thats the Koolaid talking, and what an IB cheerleader cultist would say, and I know better. IB isnt better, its not the best curriculum, it might be the best marketing and packaging, since many of the other IE curriculum especially the NCs dont really have to advertise as they are mandated to an extent by regulatory authorities, but better or the best, No.

I disagree with everything in your reply, but you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

It has opened the doors for you to experience a number of curricula, not curriculums.

No, @Spawnboy99 was correct using 'curriculums', and so are you.
From Merriam-Webster:

'curriculum' <noun>
cur·​ric·​u·​lum kə-ˈri-kyə-ləm
plural: 'curricula', also 'curriculums'

"As is the case with many nouns borrowed directly from Latin, there is often some confusion as to the proper way to form its plural. Both 'curricula' and 'curriculums' are considered correct."

While I would turn my nose at Merriam-Webster as an authoritative or definitive source on the English language, this is also confirmed in the OED, both curriculums and curricula are acceptable forms of usage; and I do defer to the OED as THE definitive authority in English language usage.
