Mission Statement - The IB develops inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who create a better and more peaceful world through education that builds intercultural understanding and respect.

What is an IB Education - Established in 1968, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) was the first programme offered by the IB and is taught to students aged 16-19. The Diploma Programme (DP) curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the DP core, comprising theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS) and the extended essay.

Through the Diploma Programme (DP) core, students reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research and undertake a project that often involves community service.

Predicted Scores - When you apply to universities, especially overseas, you may be asked to provide your predicted IB scores.  To request your predicted scores you will email your request to Ms. Day.  Either the IB office or Ms. Heald will send these scores to your university. 

The IB Diploma Programme at B-CC - Preparing Students to be Successful in Higher Education and to be Active Participants in a Global Society.

IB Recognition at Universities
