[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My now-senior full IB student at W-L took Alg. 2/Trig as a freshman, then Dual Enrollment Pre-Calc as a sophomore, then AP Calc AB as a junior, and is now in the 1 year IB Math Studies class.[/quote]

So is that the partial IB option? [/quote]

Oh wait - you do say “full IB”. I didn’t realize DE & AP was an option for IB… [/quote]

As someone else mentioned, it's not that IB kids are taking AP classes, it's that there are IB classes that translate to AP Calc AB and AP Calc BC, and the classes are taught to a mix of students. IB students are given the option of paying to take the AP exam (APS will pay for either the AP or the IB exam, but not both) in case they go to a college that doesn't accept IB credits.

Did that make sense? [/quote]

I guess I misunderstood - I thought there was just a 2-year math class for full IB.[/quote]

I think that you have to take (3) 2-year classes (HL) and (3) 1-year classes (SL).  But you can chose the classes.  So if you don't love math, you can choose a different 2-year class, like History of the Americas.   [/quote]

Thank you for clarifying!
