What Do Schools Offering IB Education Provide?
What does it take for a school to offer IB education? We explain the conditions of becoming an IB World School, teacher qualifications and what it gives students.
Schools that offer IB education have been drawing more and more interest of late. Yet not every school can provide IB: to be able to offer IB education, a school must successfully complete a comprehensive authorisation process. Schools authorised by the International Baccalaureate Organization are called IB World Schools, and they become part of a global community made up of thousands of schools worldwide.
What Is IB Education?
The IB program is an educational approach created through the joint work of schools, governments and international organisations. Its aim is to raise caring, well-rounded young people with a leader's spirit who will drive change for a more liveable world. In this respect, IB is not merely a curriculum; it is an educational philosophy.
What Should a School Offering IB Be Like?
Because IB education is grounded in learning through experience, these schools must have certain facilities:
The Qualities of an IB School
Laboratories
Comprehensive spaces for learning through experience.
Art and sport
Spaces for holistic development.
A qualified staff
Teachers with dedicated IB training.
Language command
Advanced foreign language proficiency.
It is critical that IB teachers go through special training to be able to deliver the program and that their command of foreign languages is at an advanced level. These qualities are the core elements that set IB apart from other programs.
What Does It Give Students?
Students who study at an IB World School gain an internationally recognised diploma, the chance of acceptance to the world's distinguished universities, course exemption at some universities, and dual foreign languages. We covered the detail of these gains in this article.
More than teaching a piece of knowledge, IB teaches students to read the world with responsibility.
In brief
- Schools that offer IB go through a comprehensive authorisation process.
- Laboratories, art and sport spaces and a trained staff are essential.
- It gives students an international diploma and university advantages.
