The IB Diploma Programme sounds like a lot of extra work. What are the advantages of enrolling in an IB programme?
Students with IB Diplomas who now attend universities report that their involvement with IB has given them the tools needed to succeed at university and to make the most of their post-secondary education. In particular, students comment on their sense of preparedness, selfconfidence, research skills, the ability to manage their time, and the willingness to be actively engaged in their own learning. Even more importantly, they have developed a sense of the world around them, their responsibility to it, and the skills with which to embrace the complexities of life. The IB often employs a variety of phrases to describe these traits and abilities: “learning how to learn”; “life-long learners”; “critical and compassionate thinkers”; and “informed participants in local and world affairs”.
