How do I decide which program is best for me?

Mrs. Castle will host informational sessions on AP Capstone and IB benefits, drawbacks, and similarities and differences throughout the school year, so parents/guardians and students should stay tuned via email and social media for upcoming opportunities to learn more.

All 9th- and 10th-grade students are being prepared for EITHER of these awesome pathways, and there is no magic formula for figuring out which one is right for you. Just work hard, keep an open mind, EXPLORE THIS HANDY WEBSITE, ask peers who have experienced the programs, and do not listen to ANYONE who is touting one program as better than or superior to the other (because they're misinformed!).

There is PLENTY of time to think through your future, so no pressure! Yet...
