IB Program Overview
What is an IB education?An International Baccalaureate (IB) Education is a challenging, globally-recognized program that aims to develop students who are curious, knowledgeable, and caring. Rather than just focusing on memorization, an IB Education encourages students to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
Is it like the Advanced Placement program?
Yes, the IB Diploma Program is comparable to the AP program as both offer rigorous, college-level coursework to high school students and can lead to college credit or advanced standing at universities.
However, they are very different in structure, philosophy, and scope. AP is a flexible, subject-specific model, while the IB Diploma is a comprehensive, holistic curriculum.
What sets an IB education apart?
An IB education is distinguished by its holistic philosophy and unique structure, focusing on developing the whole person, not just academic knowledge. While many advanced high school programs focus on what students learn, the IB program emphasizes how they learn and why it matters globally.
It's a globally recognized credential. Its consistent standards are valued by universities around the world, making it an excellent choice for students who might consider studying abroad or simply want an education with an international perspective.
To achieve this mission, IB experiences are designed to develop the IB Learner with the goal to develop a community of people who respect themselves and the world around them.
