What is an IB education?
The value of an IB education
The International Baccalaureate offers a unique educational experience to students from age 3 to 19 through four international education programmes that challenge and motivate students, academically and personally. IB programmes inspire a lifelong quest for learning, infused with enthusiasm and empathy. In addition to supporting cognitive development, IB programmes address social, emotional, and physical well-being and encourage students to become active, compassionate, lifelong learners.

Why the IB is different
Students that choose to pursue an International Baccalaureate education will be encouraged to think independently and drive their own learning. They will:
- take part in programmes of education that can lead them to some of the highest ranking universities around the world
- become more culturally aware, through the development of a second language
- be able to engage with people in an increasingly globalized, rapidly changing world.
