Having taught in both, I would say that the American curriculum is a bit more prescriptive. I teach social studies and have taught AP and IB History (also TOK). In IB, I would never even think about giving a multiple choice test. They just aren't done! Whereas in American and AP, MC tests are the norm.

Also specific to history, American and AP curriculum tends to be survey courses. Covering large time periods of history for a year. In IB it is much more in-depth.

vandsmith is right in other regards, IB isn't some magic pill. Good teaching is good teaching

I never worked there, but another school in the country.

I would recommend International School of Uganda. Back when I was in the country (2005-2007) it looked like a great place to work.

Also International School of Kenya seems like a great place as well (went on a Model UN trip to the school)
