International Baccalaureate (IB) is the foundation for a peaceful future!
In the late 1960s, a group of innovative educators saw the need for an international approach to education in order to equip young people with the skills, values and knowledge necessary to create a more peaceful future, creating the International Baccalaureate in 1968 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The IB aims to provide better opportunities than other programs to develop caring, knowledgeable and informed young people who are motivated to achieve their goals.
We encourage our students to contribute to building a better world through mutual understanding and intercultural respect.
