Student Testimonials/ Examples of Projects

"I took IB Business Management SL during my first year as an IB diploma candidate. To say the least, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the class because it went beyond the basic knowledge of business. Not only did I learn about various business concepts, but also learned how to efficiently collaborate with peers and practice my presentation skills. From conducting 40-minute presentations to researching different corporations, IB business was the perfect class to strengthen my interest in pursuing a career in the business field."
