In Latin America, there are nearly 200 IB World Schools in 17 different countries offering one or more of the IB programmes.
Spanish is the official language of most of these countries, with the exception of Brazil, where Portuguese is spoken. Most schools offer the IB programmes in Spanish, in English or in both languages. Some include additional languages in their curriculums. A small number of schools offer some Diploma Programme subjects in German, as part of an academic framework developed in collaboration with the German educational authorities.
The Latin America regional office is located in Buenos Aires, Argentina and offers a wide range of services to IB World Schools and to prospective schools that are interested in our programmes. The regional office also develops educational initiatives with universities and governments in the region.
