Super conflicted right now…

The Situation: I am a freshman student in Canada, entering sophomore year very soon. I attend an IB school currently, but I don’t really like it; the teachers this year are much more incompetent than they were last year. I’m looking at some schools with AP right now, and found a couple of really good choices. The problem is that I would have to stay in my school for sophomore year (since I already paid the tuition) and I can only move in Junior year. I realize that sophomore and junior year are the most important, so I’m really not sure if I should switch schools.

I’m planning on participating in various activities in my school for sophomore year. If I change schools, I may have to re-found the clubs, and some of my extracurricular activities may be disconnected. I know that schools like Princeton want continuity and passion for extracurriculars. What should I do? Would it affect me if they realize that I switched from IB to AP? I really want to attend Princeton University after high school.

Please, any help would be appreciated!
