What is an IB Education?

IB aims to create a better world through education

• IB’s ambitious mission:

  • 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 organization 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.

• To do so, it explores four foundational and interrelated elements that are central to all IB programmes. 

1. International-mindedness 

2. The IB learner profile 

3. A broad, balanced, conceptual and connected curriculum
