The IBO Mission - Education for Life

Through comprehensive and balanced curricula coupled with challenging assessments, the International Baccalaureate Organization aims to assist schools in their endeavors to develop the individual talents of young people and teach them to relate the experience of the classroom to the realities of the world outside.

Beyond intellectual rigor and high academic standards, strong emphasis is placed on the ideals of international understanding and responsible citizenship, to the end that IB students may become critical and compassionate thinkers, lifelong learners and informed participants in local and world affairs, conscious of the shared humanity that binds all people together while respecting the variety of cultures and attitudes that makes for the richness of life

Requirements

All IB diploma candidates must complete six examinations over a two-year period (three at a Higher Level, three at a Standard Level). In addition, diploma candidates must complete a 4000 word Extended Essay, the Theory of Knowledge course, and the Creativity, Action and Service requirement. Upon achieving 24 total points (out of possible 45 points) in these endeavors, students are awarded an International Baccalaureate diploma.
