George School -- good option for serious student?

Hello - we briefly looked into George for one of my kids. The campus is beautiful. But one thing that caught my attention during the visit was that George offers both the IB and AP curriculums.

Completing the full IB curriculum is well recognized for its rigor. However I’ve heard that some students like to mix IB and AP courses. The mixing doesn’t go well for those who want to get the IB diploma. If your child wants to study in Europe, then the IB curriculum can’t be beat. Some UK universities allow the AP in lieu of IB. There are some slight differences between the IB and AP curriculum (take HL maths for example – it is a bit more advanced than Calc BC).

But these differences are rather minor. Unless your child is aiming for the IB diploma, it doesn’t really matter much.
