The International Baccalaureate (IB)

The International Baccalaureate (IB) offers a continuum of international education through four challenging, high quality educational programmes to students aged 3 to 19.

Our programmes encourage both personal development and academic achievement challenging students to think critically, to ask the right questions and think across disciplines. An IB education also fosters diversity, curiosity and a healthy appetite for learning.

Schools must be authorized to teach our IB programmes. Every school authorized to offer IB programmes is known as an IB World School.
