What is IB?
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop
inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people
who help to create a better and more peaceful world
through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools,
governments and international organizations to
develop challenging programs of international
education and rigorous assessment.
These programs encourage students across the world to
become active, compassionate and lifelong learners
