What is the International baccalaureate programme?

 

The IB is different from other curricula because it:

- encourages students to think critically and challenge what they are told

- 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.

 

In order to teach IB programmes, schools must be authorized. Every school authorized to offer IB programmes is known as an IB World School.

A continuum of international education

We provide a continuum of education, consisting of four individual programmes. The programmes encourage both personal and academic achievement, challenging students to excel in their studies and in their personal development.

 

Primary Years Programme

The PYP prepares students to become active, caring, lifelong learners who demonstrate respect for themselves and others and have the capacity to participate in the world around them. It focuses on the development of the whole child.

 

Middle Years Programme

A challenging framework that encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world, the MYP is inclusive by design; students of all interests and academic abilities can benefit from their participation.

 

Diploma Programme

Research suggests many benefits to choosing the DP. The programme aims to develop students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge – students who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically.
