I don’t know if a school new to IB would consider allowing students to do individual “certificates” but my daughter took HL psychology as a sophomore among seniors after taking a CTD psychology course the summer before freshman year and scoring a 5 on the AP exam the next spring. She was allowed to complete the HL IB assessments towards a certificate. She scored 5/7 - not incredible but not bad for a kid who was the age of the freshman at her school. She took the next year off as a “gap year” to be an exchange student, then started at our state’s residential school for gifted this year. Just to give you some more ideas about possibilities…
