What is IB?
(International Baccalaureate Curriculum)
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Curriculum is a globally recognized education program designed to develop curious, knowledgeable, and caring students. This world-wide framework uses Units of Inquiry to help students assume ownership for their learning within a rigorous curriculum.
The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world. The IB offers a continuum of programs for students ages 3–19 and is valued by universities worldwide for preparing students for academic success and global citizenship.
What is IB PYP?
What makes PYP schools unique is “how” students are taught, versus “what” students are taught. IB PYP schools strive to develop internationally-minded students who are able to understand themselves and others, fostering the attributes necessary to thrive within a global society. The PYP focuses on the development of the whole child as an engaged inquirer, demonstrating ownership for their learning both in and outside of the classroom. In the PYP classroom, learning is concept based rather than topic based, taking place through a Transdisciplinary lens. PYP Teachers also teach students multiple Approaches to Learning, so that students are equipped with the skills essential to becoming lifelong learners.
What is IB MYP?
The MYP is a challenging framework that encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world.
The MYP is a five-year programme, which can be implemented in a partnership between schools, or in several abbreviated (two, three or four year) formats. Students who complete the MYP are well-prepared to undertake the IB Diploma Programme (DP) or Career-related Programme (CP).
As IB learners, we strive towards 10 attributes we call IB Learner Profiles.
