Hi all,

So at the moment I am on summer vacation and will be starting my IB Diploma Program this upcoming fall at a United World College. I am mentioning the school because it is notorious for also implementing lots of co-curricular activities into students’ schedules.

My current subject selections for this upcoming year are:

IB Higher Level History
IB Higher Level Global Politics
IB Higher Level English Language and Literature

IB Standard Level Mathematics
IB Standard Level French B
IB Standard Level Environmental Systems and Societies

I have mostly gotten all 100’s or 90’s from these subjects during my former years in school, but my question is:

Should I also register for two online AP courses while I am doing my IBDP?
I would register through Florida Virtual School, doing AP US History during my Junior year, and AP US Government and Politics during my Senior year.

Do you think it would be wise to do two APs while also doing IBDP with a heavy set of extracurricular activities?

Thanks beforehand
