GLOBAL ACADEMIC BENCHMARK
What is the International Baccalaureate (IB)?
Founded in Geneva, Switzerland in 1968, the International Baccalaureate (IB) is a globally acclaimed non-profit educational foundation that offers progressive, student-centered education programmes. Designed to foster intellectual discipline, critical thinking, and international-mindedness, the IB has become the global gold standard for academic rigor.
Unlike traditional educational boards that emphasize rote learning, the IB curriculum centers on inquiry-based education. Students learn to question assumptions, analyze complex evidence, and connect subject theories to real-world global challenges across sciences, humanities, and mathematics.
