Who is the IB?
The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a non- profit organization that provides a continuum of education, consisting of four programmes for ages 3 to 19. Those programmes develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who are motivated to succeed. In ad- dition, IB students learn to think critically.
What is the Middle Years
Programme? Students do a great deal of growing up and changing between the ages of 11 and 16. The Middle Years Programme (MYP) keeps them engaged with learning designed specifically for the age group. It also encourages them to make practical connections between their studies and the real world. The MYP’s highly flexible framework integrates with local edu- cational requirements.
How do on-screen exams work?
The MYP’s on-screen examinations offer reliable, robust digital assessment of student achieve- ment. The IB uses cutting-edge technology in the on-screen examinations, and students find the interdisciplinary and concept based questions engaging. On-screen tools support students who are working in a language that might not be their first or best language.
Why should my school learn
about the IB? The IB supports educational leaders in a glob- al community of practice, including many professional development opportunities, ex- cellent school enhancement services and a range of digital resources. More than 4,300 schools teach 1 million-plus IB students in some 147 countries. Research suggests that in many cases, students in IB programmes perform better than students who take other qualifications.
