IB is International Bachleret witch is for the way too smart kid that dose collage level work and tons of out of school work .. .both courses at the end of school years take exams that will count towards collage hours/credit and silly why didnt you just ask your high school councler or a teacher or any sort

IB stands for International Bacheloreate. This is a program that takes the place of a regular high-school education, except instead of just graduating high school, you complete one year of university at the same time.
It is an international program in that the curriculum is the same no matter where you live, and exams for anyone in the program are all graded by the same people (ie, not your teacher). However, they probably do have some schools like this where you live, and it isn't just for boarding school students. In fact, a normal high school exchange student probably couldn't exchange at an IB school because the curriculum would be very different.
This program is good if you want to get ahead in your university education and don't mind some extra stress, but it's bad for people that like to relax/have an extra year of high school/ want to take more non-academic courses.
