The International Baccalaureate Programme, or IB for short, is a continuum of global educational programs for primary school, middle school, and high school students that is currently being implemented in 159 countries. To date, more than 7,000 international schools offer the program, and more than 1.95 million students are presently full-fledged IB learners.
But what exactly does it mean to become an IB learner, and what IB core values are students meant to embody during their time in this prestigious program? The short answer for prospective students and their parents is this: students who have the privilege of enrolling in the IB Programme should join the global community in the IB’s dual vision of improving individual lives and transforming the world into a better place.
