“The IB is a first-rate program, one we are familiar with, and it prepares students well for a university like ours.”
- Fred Hargadon, Director of Undergraduate Admissions, Princeton University
Students choose the IB Diploma Program because it offers:
a challenging academic curriculum that serves as outstanding preparation for university and higher education;
a student-centered approach to teaching, focused on developing students intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially;
a focus on international-mindedness, compassion, and understanding intercultural differences;
respected, reliable and world-renowned academic preparation.
Universities regularly cite IB students as the best prepared for higher education. IB graduates excel at university and often begin their studies with advanced standing.
