This. We are at a non-RM school that offers the IB and my kid much prefers taking AP classes. Zero interest in IB.[/quote]

Why?  What about an IB class makes it less desirable than an AP class?[/quote]

DP with no kids in high school yet so I can't speak to the class experience-- but I would prefer AP because way more colleges accept AP credit than IB credit and that could end up saving us many thousands of dollars in tuition.[/quote]

Non issue. IP Students take AP exams. [/quote]

What do you mean?  Like, they self-study to cover the AP course content and then register for exams separately?  [/quote]

Yes. RMIB and Blair/Poolsville SMCS kids do this all the time. Those students on average finish 7-15 AP tests by graduation. [/quote]

That seems like a lot of extra time spent when you could just go to a school where your actual classes prepare you for the AP exam and you don't have to self-study?  [/quote]
