IB Explained

We are so glad that you are here and part of our Westwood IB community!



The IB Diploma Programme is:


A future-ready programme that builds students’ inquiring mindset, fosters their desire to learn, and prepares them to excel at their careers and lead meaningful lives.



Over 1,600 students have graduated from Westwood IB since our first IB DP class graduated in 1998. Westwood IB students consistently perform above the world-wide average and are truly future world-changers. Our students engage in rigorous academic courses and are represented in just about every extracurricular activity on campus. We have an active IB Student Organization (IBSO) and IB Parent Association (IBPA). There are many fun events and activities planned throughout the year for students.


Westwood IB serves over 250 students in the Diploma Program (11th and 12th graders) who are pursuing the IB Diploma and over 370 students who are IB Prep (9th and 10th graders). Westwood IB is within the top 12% of IB Programs worldwide in terms of cohort size and has consistently performed above the worldwide average. We are so proud of our rich history and are honored to serve your students in this great program that we know will set them up for success throughout their lives.
