As is stated in our mission—the IB prepares students to succeed in a world where facts and fiction merge in the news, and where asking the right, critical questions is a crucial skill that will allow them to flourish long after they’ve left our programmes.
By creating our own, internationally-benchmarked assessment, we ensure that students are challenged to think critically, rather than simply being able to recall knowledge—preparing students better for the 21st century. IB programmes promote intercultural understanding and respect, and encourage the type of “soft” skills—such as teamwork, communication, self-motivation, understanding communities and relationships—that employers look for. As a result, IB students are not only better prepared for university or other career paths, they develop an international mindset and, by putting it into action, prove how international education can help create a better world.
