The INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB)

The International Baccalaureate, commonly referred to as the IB, is a globally recognized program designed for students aged 3-19. Beyond developing students' knowledge across various subjects and disciplines, the IB program aims to cultivate confident, self-motivated, and resilient global citizens.

Through the IB, students gain exposure to diverse perspectives and become part of a community of learners dedicated to positive global change.

The IB fosters holistic learning, emphasizing the interconnectedness of different subjects while giving equal importance to each.
