Students and parents

Last updated:

Catering for students aged from 3 to 19 years, the IB's continuum of programmes encourages both personal and academic achievement, challenging students to excel in their studies and personal development. They are encouraged to try different approaches to learning and to take responsibility for their own educational progress. Every IB student is required to study a second language as part of each programme, meaning that students can apply to further education and employment opportunities in Africa and overseas.

IB programmes incorporate quality practice from national and international research and the IB global community. They encourage students to be internationally-minded, within a complex and hyper-connected world.
