IB aims to educate the "whole person"
IB encourages students to appreciate cultures and attitudes other than their own and to be informed and willing to communicate with others.
The IB approach to education is not encyclopedic. The emphasis is on helping students analyze their education and use it in meaningful, practical ways.
The IB DP's international acceptability allows for both flexibility and mobility.
IB courses are recognized by universities and institutions around the world; this includes access to scholarships and excellent educational opportunities! Review a detailed list of colleges around the world who accept IB credits: University Recognition
