What types of students are suited for the IB program?
The IBO has always been committed to making an IB education available to students from all types of backgrounds. The IB program is challenging and interdisciplinary by nature. The main thrust of this program is to provide a well-rounded education. This program is designed for the intellectually curious and motivated student whose needs might otherwise not be met in a standard classroom. No student need be a “genius” or straight “A” student to enroll. It is elitist only in the sense of motivation, not academic ability. The program serves many students of differing abilities on differing levels. Any student who is motivated to participate in stimulating classes is a candidate for the total curriculum or for individual classes in his/her specific interest areas.
