Can't answer for Zebs, but I did the program as well, and I found it to be overall helpful. Essentially you take college courses while in high school. It helped me learn how to manage my time, how to bullshit when I had to, how to deal with stress, and part of the program is writing a 25-ish page essay, which makes the ten page essay I'm writing right now feel like nothing. Also, while this isn't true of all schools, my IB credits transferred to my University of choice, meaning I don't have to take the annoying pre-req classes, and skip a year if I wanted to.

Dealing with stress is a big one. That should be taught in all high schools.
