The IB does not own, operate or manage any schools. Instead, we work in partnership with 2,319 IB World Schools in 128 countries who offer our programmes. These schools
- share the mission and commitment of the IB to quality international education
- have been authorized by the IB to offer one or more of our three programmes
- play an active and supporting role in the worldwide community of IB schools
- share their knowledge and experience in the development of the IB programmes
- are committed to the professional development of teachers
The interdependent nature of the relationship between IB World Schools and the IB is a unique and a defining characteristic of the worldwide IB community.
The number of IB World Schools is growing rapidly and we are delighted to welcome new schools every month.
