What is an IB education?

An IB education is a transformative learning experience for students, educators, parents and schools. Four international education programmes offer much more than academic preparation—they are uniquely designed to develop international-mindedness as well as students’ critical thinking and lifelong learning skills.

Better overall academic performance and an increase in student and faculty engagement are often seen as a result. Leaders and innovators in more than 4,000 IB World Schools form a passionate community that makes the world a better place through education.

Through inquiry and collaboration, IB students take ownership of their learning journey and grow to become active, compassionate citizens of the world.
