I'm not talking about the institution, but the material studied.  Who cares if IBO is based in Europe or the College Board is a U.S. institution -- the important thing and the relevant part for students here is what is actually being studied.  You sound a little US-centric for a globalized world.  [/quote]

[b]And you sound as if you're only capable of speaking in platitudes, served up by the IBO, about becoming a "global citizen."  [/b]If you want to focus on content, you'll learn at least as much in AP World History as a typical IB course, except that there might not be as much focus on Fidel Castro. [/quote]

Huh?   Seems like you're the one fixated on IBO and platitudes, though your Castro comment offers some clues on where your fear comes from.  Sounds like you need to get out in the world a bit more.

And I'm sure a World History AP course offers a lot as well.  I'm not the one pooh-poohing AP.  Has it occurred to you that both programs could be good?
