[quote=Anonymous]I had two kids one of whom attended an IB school and the other AP pupil placed. I think some of the aspects of the IB program, like the theory of knowledge course and community action project, were unique and really interesting. DD seemed to enjoy it and I think her school (Robinson) has a high diploma completion rate. She's at UVA and doing well. She has said her IB courses made the writing and critical thinking demands of college fairly easy. She's a liberal arts/social science major. My AP kid completed MANY AP courses at Woodson. He's at Tech and while he got plenty of credit, he did re-do some courses in the sciences because he didn't feel like he had the foundation to do well in the upper level engineering courses. So, while there are many more AP science choices, I don't know if it's a 100 percent good idea to just take the credit and accelerate.[/quote]
