Alongside the Board of Governors, Director General, and Executive Team, the International Baccalaureate® (IB) has councils and boards that support the organization in its functions.
School Leadership Council
The School Leadership Council consists of 12 members who lead an authorized IB schools or group of IB schools, and serve as an advisory group to the IB Organisation. Members are nominated by the IB community and selected by committee, with the aim of reflecting the diversity of our schools. When seats are available, a call for interest is typically issued in October.

Examining Board
The IB Examining Board comprises all chief examiners of the IB's Diploma Programme (DP).
It supports the Chief Assessment Officer, a member of the IB's Executive Team, by offering expertise and informed discussion on practices and policy. This helps to maintain the quality and standards of assessments and curricula at the IB.
Its main other activities are to:
- ensure that all IB examiners can exercise their academic judgment in assessment matters
- hold to account their representatives of the Final Award Committee, the body that formally awards the IB diploma and certificates to students, to ensure that academic standards are maintained in DP assessments
- ensure that the Chief Assessment Officer is aware of any potential academic challenges to the mission of the IB, which is in turn reported to the Board of Governors.
The chief examiners elect a Chair and Vice Chair of the Examing Board, as well as one representative from each of the DP's six subject groups. Those representatives are part of a number of IB committees.
