I'm currently attending an upper secondary school in Norway, considered the best in my area. After this year, I'm considering IB. However, my school doesn't offer it (though I can obviously switch to another).
From what I've seen so far, the quality of the school which offers IB is not a problem at all. However, I'm not sure if it'd be the best choice, considering that I'm trying to pursue IT (specifically programming), and the school in question, apparently, doesn't offer the Computer Science subject of Group 5 of the IB DP hexagon. My current school will offer IT next year (programming, databases and the like), but after reading up on IB, it seems that IB offers much better and more extensive study on mathematics, physics and most other subjects than 'regular' school.
Thus, I'm wondering, considering my wish to pursue programming, would it be more beneficial to choose IB and then do some self-schooling on computer science (possibly even doing private courses), or continuing at my current school and ensuring that I get official study in IT?
I've tried asking advisors at my school, but their knowledge about IB is minimal, so I'm asking here.
Thanks for any replies.
