The International Baccalaureate: Subsections for PYP, MYP and DP
IB Mission Statement:
The IB develops inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through education that builds intercultural understanding and respect.
The IB Programmes are:
Holistic: The IB curriculum builds both character and academic skills, supporting your child from the ages of 3 to 19. Children learn how to learn through Approaches to Teaching (ATL’s) and Approaches to Learning (ATL’s).
Research Based: An independent, not-for-profit organization, the IB curriculum responds directly to current educational research from a range of cultures around the world.
Authentic and Inquiry-Driven: All three programmes require that students act on what they learn outside of the classroom and give students the agency to drive their own learning.
Challenging: Culminating in the widely recognized Diploma exams, the IB curriculum is learner-focused allowing teachers in all three programmes to differentiate and stretch students to their potential.
International: International-mindedness is at the heart of all three programmes, helping students to become confident in their own culture by appreciating and respecting the cultures of others.
