• What are the advantages of graduating with an IB Diploma?

IB World Schools must undergo a rigorous authorization process in order to offer an IB program. Its curriculum is recognized all over the world and IB standards and focus is universal across all IB World schools. As a result, an IB Diploma graduate often receives a higher level of university acceptance, not to mention greater scholarship potential. An IB Diploma holder may also receive credit for courses in first year university.

The curriculum and pedagogy of the IB focus on international perspectives of learning and teaching, while insisting that students fully explore their home culture and language. Therefore, students will learn to live in ‘global’ society because of the emphasis on the international aspect of the program.

IB students will learn to hone their time-management skills, application skills, critical-thinking, organizational skills, communication skills, problem-solving skills, and research skills while in the program. Moreover, the core elements of the Diploma program encourages students to take on an active role in their community while participating in creative and service-oriented activities, while reflecting on a personal and academic level.
