Education in International Baccalaureate® (IB) World Schools:
- centres on learners
- develops effective approaches to teaching and learning
- works within global contexts, helping students understand different languages and cultures
- explores significant content, developing disciplinary and interdisciplinary understanding that meets rigorous international standards.
An IB education aims to transform students and schools as they learn, through dynamic cycles of inquiry, action and reflection. Teachers enable and support students as they develop the approaches to learning they need – for both academic and personal success.
IB programmes aim to help students explore and construct their own personal and cultural identities.
A shared educational philosophy
The IB supports schools in the implementation of four high-quality programmes of international education:
- Primary Years Programme (PYP), for students aged 3-12
- Middle Years Programme (MYP), for students aged 11-16
- Diploma Programme (DP), for students aged 16-19
- IB Career-related Programme (CP), for students aged 16-19.
Teaching and learning in the IB celebrates the many ways people work together to construct meaning and make sense of the world. An IB education empowers young people for a lifetime of learning, independently and in collaboration with others.
The IB learner profile describes the shared values that inform an IB education.
