What is an IB education?

The IB continuum of international education for 3 to 19 year olds isunique because of its academic and personal rigour. We challenge students to excel in their studies and in their personal growth. Weaim to inspire a quest for learning throughout life that is marked byenthusiasm and empathy.

The IB aspires to help schools develop well-rounded students with character who respond to challenges with optimism and an openmind, are confident in their own identities, make ethical decisions,join with others in celebrating our common humanity and areprepared to apply what they learn in real-world, complex andunpredictable situations.
