IB Schools

IB stands for International Baccalaureate. It is a non-profit educational foundation that offers a range of educational programs for students aged 3 to 19. The IB program was founded in 1968 in Switzerland, with the goal of developing inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

IB schools are schools that offer one or more of the International Baccalaureate (IB) programs. These programs include the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for students aged 3 to 12, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for students aged 11 to 16, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for students aged 16 to 19.

The IB curriculum is designed to provide a well-rounded education that emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, and intercultural understanding. The curriculum includes subjects such as language and literature, mathematics, science, social studies, and the arts, as well as a program of study in the student's native language.

IB schools are known for their high academic standards and their focus on developing the whole student. They often have small class sizes and a dedicated faculty of well-qualified teachers. Many IB schools also offer a wide range of extracurricular activities and programs, such as sports teams, music and art programs, and clubs.

The IB diploma is recognized by universities around the world and is considered to be a rigorous and challenging program of study. Students are assessed through both internal and external assessments which include written exams, oral presentations, and research projects.

It's important to note that the quality of education in IB schools can vary depending on the school and region. However, the International Baccalaureate Organization provides guidelines, support and training for schools to follow the curriculum and to ensure that students get proper education.
