AICE vs. DE for small liberal arts colleges?

Will the courses be taken at the college with other college students, or will they be “college in the high school”?

Will the courses (at least at higher levels for high school students) be ones which transfer to your state universities for subject credit for college frosh and soph level courses (not remedial or developmental courses)?

IB program fit can depend on which subjects are offered with a choice of SL or HL, SL only, or HL only. Ideally, the student’s best and most liked subjects should be offered HL. However, a student who struggles in a subject may not find it optimal if that subject is HL only.
