Is it a bad idea to study abroad if I am in IB?

I am a high school student in the US and would love to study abroad next year, my junior year, but I do not know if it is the best idea.


Will I be able to take IB courses in England?


If not, can I continue with IB when I return?


How can I get all of my high school credits/do the credits I would recieve in England count?

loads of schools over here offer the IB so that's not a big problem.





You're in junior which roughly translates to six form college which is the year where you start A-Levels or IBs (whichever you pick). So if you want to go next year is the perfect time!
Reply:Really, don't worry about your highschool's major. It doesn't affect what college you get into.





Study abroad. I'm in Portugal right now, as a Sophomore in College with a full ride to my University back in the states and I wish I had had the opportunity to study abroad in High School (parents wouldn't let me coupled with an incompetent administration).





Do it and don't worry about what your highschool's course requirements say is good for college. IB's, AP's, clubs, leadership, sports, and some community service will get you into college, not your highschool's "major".





IB, you know, stands for INTERNATIONAL business. Any INTERNATIONAL experience, like studying abroad, is a huge help in the field. Studying abroad before college looks impressive to people anyway.
