anyone taking IB diploma? Options

[LittleLulu]

about two months ago, i had an epiphany ( i know i spelled that wrong but w/e) about my education.

....MY SCHOOL ONLY OFFERS AP IN GRADE 12!!!!!!! how AWFUL** is that?!?

and the only things they have it in is Studio arts, and..english lit. Chem, Phys, and Bio, for the past few years have not opened class due to the lack of enrollment.

Hence i decided to transferr to a different highschool next year. Going for Richmond High because they offer IB ( International Baccalaureate), which is probably the best thing i can do if i want to go to University in the U.S. ( i live in Canada).

im feeling so depressed and scared..and just generally bummed out from all the research i've done on college admissions...

I guess IB works differently at my school At these IB schools refer to, are they specifically IB schools, or are they just schools tht also happen to have the IB program? That seems a lot more complicated, because you seem to have a lot more class options than we do (an example being that in sophomore year, the only IB class you can take is econ/political systems for pre-IB, and that is basically just moving a class you'd have senior year to earlier in order to take the two year History of the Americas class if you choose to continue).

well in the British Columbia province of Canada, there is 1 school selected from each school district to have the IB programme. I don't know of any schools with only the IB programme itself.

umm..the IB dimploma programme is a 2 year program for students in grade 11 and 12 ( a.k.a junior and senior year). but there is a program for middle years aswell, and another one for something along the lines of grade 6~8?

The programms offered at each school a slightly different too. For instance, RHS doesn't offer IB Computer Science ( sadly) or IB Business Management .
As for pre-IB courses, RHS has 5, i think.
