    Hello! Bonjour! Hola! 
     
    Welcome! Bienvenue! Bienvenidos! 
     
    The International Baccalaureate® (IB) offers a continuum of international education. The programme encourage both personal and academic achievement, challenging students to excel in their studies and in their personal development.
     
    IB’s Mission 
    The International Baccalaureate® (IB) aims to do more than other curricula by developing inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who are motivated to succeed. Students will help to build a better world through intercultural understanding and respect. 
    The IB is different from other curricula because it:
    • Encourages students to think critically and challenge what they are told and is independent of governments and national systems, and therefore able to incorporate best practice from a range of international frameworks and curricula 
    • Encourages students to consider both their local and international environment.

    Students at IB World Schools are given a unique education. They will:

    • be encouraged to think independently and drive their own learning
    • take part in programs of education that can lead them to some of the highest ranking universities around the world
    • become more culturally aware, through the development of a second language
    • be able to engage with people in an increasingly globalized, rapidly changing world.
