[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was able to take AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP Music Theory, and AP Computer Science, along with AP English and Social Studies courses.  That simply would not have been possible in the IB program.  He could have taken either Music or Computer Science as his sixth subject, but not both.  The limitation of six subjects for the diploma and no more than 4 at HL hampers many of the highest achieving students, who are capable of handling more advanced course loads.[/quote]

DD also took a wide variety of AP including BC Calculus and Physics, History, Government (comparative -2 AP tests, as I recall), foreign language and English, Psychology.  Perhaps that would be similar to an IB program because of the Social Sciences--but, she certainly took full advantage of AP offerings--without the limitations. And, most of those courses demanded lots and lots of writing.

If a child wants to pursue an IB type program, they can do so at an AP school.  Lots more flexibility there.[/quote]
