Benefits of IB
The IB enables students to direct their own learning pathway and develop the skills and confidence they need to thrive and make a lasting difference. It empowers teachers as the architects of learning excellence, working alongside engaged colleagues in a rewarding career supported by a strong global network. And it brings schools a strong reputation for successful outcomes that uplift the whole community.
Why is IB Different?
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) programs aim to do more than other curricula. Our four programs develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who are motivated to succeed. The IB gives students distinct advantages by building their critical thinking skills, nurturing their curiosity, and their ability to solve complex problems.
Students at International Baccalaureate® (IB) World Schools are given a unique, challenging, and diverse education.
IB learners are:
- encouraged to think critically and solve complex problems
- drive their own learning
- a core part of educational programs that can lead them to some of the highest-ranking universities around the world
- more culturally aware through the development of a second language
- able to engage with people in an increasingly globalized, rapidly changing world.
IB students often perform better!
IB students develop strong academic, social, and emotional characteristics. They are also likely to perform well academically – often better than students on other curricula.
