Anniversaries, excellence and empowerment: IB World Schools


F


or many schools around the globe, moving further into 2021 will present new opportunities and challenges from which to learn, develop


and progress in a future full of uncertainties. This year, a specific group of educators will be reflecting back not only to


the lessons learnt last year, but more distantly to their school beginnings and evolutions over the last four decades. 15 International Baccalaureate (IB) World Schools, across 11 countries are commemorating 40 years of offering cohorts, past and present, a recognised advantage, delivered through the IB. These internationally-minded schools have committed almost half a century to empowering young minds in becoming the thinkers and creative engineers of tomorrow, ready to solve society’s most pressing challenges and build a better, more sustainable world. Additional to the impressive legacies these schools are creating; the


feedback gathered from IB World Schools notes the following benefits are acquired through being part of the global network of schools: • Support: The IB works closely with its schools to implement programmes according to the school’s culture • Authorisation: The IB’s high authorisation and evaluation standards provide valuable feedback for continuous improvement • Reputation: The IB gives schools a strong international reputation for excellence and quality • A lifelong advantage: Students gain an education that empowers them with the confidence and ability to be the best they can be in an ever- changing, unpredictable world To find out more about becoming an IB World School, please visit:
