The IB is committed to testing relevant thinking skills by creating meaningful tasks that allow the student to show their understanding of the subject—not just their memory skills. The IB recognizes the importance of examination results as a passport to university, and jobs and provides a worldwide standard which has retained its value and meaning over many years.
With a strong tradition of taking a principled approach to assessment, the IB diploma offers a range of examinations and internal assessments that give every student the chance to receive recognition for their individual strengths, including credit where applicable.
