Welcome to IB History of the Americas! The IB Diploma Programme is a rigorous pre-university course of study. It is a broad-based two year course that aims to encourage students to be knowledgeable and inquiring, but also caring and compassionate. There is a strong emphasis on encouraging students to develop intercultural understanding, open-mindedness, and the attitudes necessary for them to respect and evaluate a range of points of view.
​
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 IBO works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
The attributes of the learner profile express the values inherent to the IB continuum of international education.
IB programs promote the education of the whole person, emphasizing intellectual, personal, emotional and social development.

Inquirers

Thinkers
