The International Baccalaureate (IB)The IB has been established since 1968. The concept driven curriculum is therefore not a fledgling idea but it is a compilation of best practice and research over the last 44 years. The International Baccalaureate is designed for students aged 3 to 19. It focuses on the total growth of the developing child, touching hearts as well as minds and encompassing social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in addition to academic development. The IB draws on research and best practice from a range of national systems with a wealth of knowledge and experience from international schools to create a relevant, engaging, challenging and significant educational framework for all children.

Curriculum documents are published in English, French and Spanish but schools may offer the programme in other languages under certain conditions. The PYP, MYP, DP and IBCC are the four programmes offered by the International Baccalaureate (IB). The IB has specific standards and practices that are common across all of the programs and work to define the complex model of international education whilst bringing cohesion and a common language across the world.
