IB
Founded in 1968, the IB is a non-profit educational foundation that aims at promoting internationally recognized programmes of study which focus on the development of the whole student. The IB is based in Geneva, Switzerland and administered by the International Baccalaureate Curriculum and Assessment Centre in Cardiff, United Kingdom.
The International Baccalaureate Organization (known as the IB) offers an education for students from age 3 to 19, comprising of four programmes that focus on teaching students to think critically and independently, and how to inquire with care and logic.
The IB prepares students to succeed in a world where facts and fiction merge in the news, and where asking the right questions is a crucial skill that will allow them to flourish long after they’ve left the programmes.
The IB is different from other curricula because it:
- Encourages students to think critically and challenge what they are told.
- Is independent of governments and national systems, and therefore able to incorporate best practice from a range of international frameworks and curricula.
- Encourages students to consider both their local and international environment.
Research shows that IB students perform well on international academic assessments, and often better than students on other programs. In addition, graduates are better able to cope with demanding workloads and time-management challenges and feel more prepared for future education, than students from non-IB schools.
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) offers a continuum of international education. The programmes encourage both personal and academic achievement, challenging students to excel in their studies and in their personal development.
