What Are the Qualities of an International Baccalaureate World School?
Being part of an International Baccalaureate (IB) program equates to a high-quality, global-focused education. There are 34,576 private schools in the United States, serving 5.7 million PK-12 students, according to the Council for American Private Education. Only a few apply every year for the IB program and even fewer make the grade for their students and staff.
Here are the qualities and benefits of sending your child to an IB World School.
Leadership
The IB program teaches the characteristics of a leader and lifelong learner to its students. The leadership of an International Baccalaureate program is what makes the designation so appealing to school administrators and parents alike.
Critical Thinking and Open-Mindedness
The International Baccalaureate program encourages free inquiry and challenging assumptions. When you begin to examine the basics that you believe, the secondary beliefs begin to reveal new ideas. The program encourages an international understanding by examining how the same beliefs are interpreted through different lenses all around the world.
Global Citizenship
The whole basis of the IB program is internationalism. The idea that people are more similar than they are different all around is the beginning of understanding other people. Students are also challenged to make sure their assumptions are not holding them back.
Summer Educational Options
During our summer sessions, students are encouraged to engage the world in many ways. Our athletic activities are as varied as our academics; our athletic options include the most comprehensive swimming program in the area and one of the best and largest pools! Athletics are every bit as important to students’ social development as the classes they’ll be enrolled in, especially when it comes to social and mental development. You have the best options available with us for your student’s continued education.
Daycare and Pre-K through 12
IB offers programs scaled to students of every level. You can expect our academics and athletics to help mold your children into responsible world citizens and scholars. We are your best educational option in the area to help teach your kids the ways that they can affect the future of the world.
