International Baccalaureate®
The International Baccalaureate (IB) is an international education board that began in 1968 and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
It provides students with a standardised global education that provides them with a lifelong practical learning experience through an international curriculum.
The IB curriculum is centred on the student and promotes research-based learning. Students who follow the IB curriculum are more self-reliant and take responsibility for their experiences.
Its goal is to educate students all across the world with a standardised education model that includes a wide range of subjects and activities to help them become curious, knowledgeable, and caring citizens.
All IB programmes cover the five categories of skills: thinking skills, research skills, communication skills, social skills, and self-management skills.
Instead of traditional textbook-based study, the IB board supports concept-based learning. Students comprehend what is taught in class and have resources to choose from in order to explore the subjects in greater depth.
Credits are earned in the classroom. This allows students to progress in college without having to repeat basic courses.
