The International Baccalaureate Programme
Why IB?
The International Baccalaureate® offers an education for students aged 3 - 19 and aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better world through intercultural understanding and respect.
The IB comprises of four programs 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 programs.
These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners.
