Ap vs ib

<p>Next year as junior I have the choice to continue my IB journey at my base school or start my life as an AP student, I am currently taking advanced computer math which is a weighted, college level intro to computer science course. I have a strong passion for music but, I plan to major in computer science in college so keep that in mind when reading the pros and cons of each school</p>

<p>IB School:
pros:
*2 IB Computer Science classes (1 SL, 1 HL)
cons:
*forced to take IB Math Studies SL (currently in geometry as a sophomore and junior year I have to take algebra 2 and that leaves one year for another math but the other maths are 2 years)
*Inferior band to AP school
*IB Program can be more difficult </p>

<p>AP School:
pros:
*Superior band
*APS program for anyone taking AP
*CFPA specialty music program
*More elective space for other classes (</p>

<p>AP Physics/AP Music Theory)
*option to take Calculus AB (I could take Algebra 2 over the summer and then be placed in a "function/trig" class and then take Calc AB senior year)
cons:
*Only 1 Computer Science class (AP computer science)</p>
