Why Choose IB

Key benefits of the IB program include:

Academic rigor. Students learn how to learn, analyze, and reach thoughtful conclusions. Diploma candidates function at a level of an introductory college student.

Comprehensiveness. Students encounter rigor throughout all disciplines. They refin areas of strength, and developmentally improve areas of weakness.

Internationalism. The program encourages students to think globally and the curriculum is based on international standards. Coursework and exams are graded by an international grading team.

Taking all classes with peers with common ambitions.

Consistent application of critical thinking skills to a wide range of subject matter.

Quality assurance and professional development

Any school wishing to offer the Diploma Programme and attain IB World School status must first go through the authorization process. The requirements for authorization are the same for all schools, even though the process is administered slightly differently in each IB region. The process is designed to ensure schools are well prepared to implement the programme successfully.

This is a challenging programme that demands the best from both motivated students and teachers. Schools can access an extensive package of IB professional development for teachers and administrators and commit to ongoing professional development. Schools are required to participate in an ongoing process of review and development, using standards and practices that apply to all IB World Schools.
