What’s more, completion of the IB diploma is evidence of participation in a program of study that challenges students academically, personally, and socially and prepares them with skills to work collaboratively; manage their time; think critically and problem solve; advocate for themselves and ask questions to understand and clarify ideas.

“Our dedicated IB staff recognize the benefits of an IB education for all students and the resulting statistics validate our belief that all students can participate in an IB education, regardless of ethnic or socioeconomic background."
