What’s the difference to colleges?

IB

• Most rigorous • Emphasis on research,

writing, metacognition, global links, application https://blogs.ibo.org/blog/2016/04/26/stanfords-assistant-dean-of-admissions-on-the-value-of-an-ib-education/

AP • Academically rigorous • No connections • No research • Facts vs application

Move On When Ready

• Curriculum/rigor vary with instructor

• Less nurturing environment

• Developmental maturity
