AICE is a course introduced by Cambridge iniversity. AICE classes are sometimes like regular classes, depending on which ones you choose. For example AICE international history is like a regulate history class, but it gives you a AICE credit. In Florida, if you complete 6 AICE classes you may get an AICE diploma and automatically can be chosen for a bright futures scholarship. With AP classes, they are college classes. There are multiple advantages of taking AP classes, the biggest one being: completing college courses and being able to graduate from college earlier. It's also cheaper since you won't have to pay tuition for the courses you already completed. AP is basically like taking "high school credit" classes in middle school. While AICE is kind of an honors type class which also gives college credit. AP and AICE are similar in that they give college credit. AICE also happens to give you a diploma after completing those classes.

What is a international baccalaureate program?
The International Bacchalaureate Diploma is a high school level degree program monitored by the United Nations. The awarding of the diploma requires a number of advanced classes and additional requirements. The Diploma is recognized world wide as a standard of education that is consistant globally. Those students interested in going to college in other countries should seriously look at this education track. Students that complete the required courses take IB exams, often graded by educators in other countries. Many colleges will evaluate the results of the IB exams as AP type courses and waive classes or even grant credit. There are some students that earn enough credits through the IB to 'skip' their freshman year of college. In addition to the courses (including 4 years of a language) the students are required to participate in Enrichment activities, provide hours of service in the community and write an extended essay. Studies have shown a direct correlation between a student that prepares and takes the AP and IB exams and their success rate in college. The grade success is less important then the actual preparation and taking of the exam. U.S. News and World Reports annually ranks the best high schools in the US based on this criteria.

That is, you can go to almost any school, anywhere with IB credits but you must stay within the United States with AP credits.
