At first it was difficult for the IB candidates wishing to study in the United States because the AP Program was well known. The best thing to do is to speak to your college counselor for advice, depending upon the school you wish to attend.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is indeed applicable for American citizens in high school. The IB program offers a rigorous and comprehensive education that is recognized and valued by universities around the world.

To determine if your high school offers the IB program, you can start by visiting the official website of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) at http://www.ibo.org/. On their website, you can explore the various IB programs available, including the Diploma Programme, which is specifically designed for students aged 16 to 19.

You can also reach out to your high school's college counselor or administration to inquire about the availability of the IB program. They can provide you with more information on how to enroll in the IB program and the specific requirements and courses involved.

Additionally, it's worth noting that while the Advanced Placement (AP) program is more well-known in the United States, universities in the US also value and accept IB credentials. If you are considering attending a particular college or university, it would be beneficial to speak with your college counselor or admissions office to understand their specific requirements and preferences regarding IB or AP programs.
