What is IB?

International Baccalaureate (IB) has three programme levels for students aged 3 to 19 that help develop the intellectual, personal, emotional, and social skills to live, learn, and work in a global world. There are more than 658,000 IB students at 2,405 schools in 131 countries.

The IB Diploma Programme, designed for college-bound and highly motivated students, is a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum based on international standards. Students who successfully complete the challenging two-year program (junior/senior level) may earn college and university credit as well as the IB Diploma. Some IB courses may be taught concurrently with Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Learn more about IB!
