Introduction to the International Baccalaureate • The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) is a nonprofit educational foundation established in 1968. • IB currently works with 2,650 schools (56% public) in 136 countries to develop and offer three challenging programs to over 560,000 students aged 3 to 19 years.

  3. Mission The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

  4. IB Philosophy “Through high quality education we create a better world.” • Quality program, high-level standards • Culturally-aware graduates • Idealistic, peace promoting mission • University recognition & challenge

  5. The IBO’s goal: To provide students with the values and opportunities that will enable them to develop sound judgment, make wise choices, and respect others in the global community.

  6. The Diploma Programme prepares students for university and encourages them to • learn “how” we learn • ask challenging questions • develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture • develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from other countries and cultures • become independent, self-motivated learners.

  7. Over the course of the two-year program, Diploma Program students: • Study six subjects chosen from the six subject groups • Complete an extended essay • Complete a theory of knowledge course • Participate in creativity, action, service

  8. The IB Learner Profile IB learners strive to be: Inquirers Knowledgeable Thinkers Communicators Principled Open-minded Caring Risk-takers Balanced Reflective The learner profile provides a long-term vision of education.

  22. IB & University Recognition A University of Chicago study released today shows that Chicago Public School students enrolled in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program (DP) are 40 percent more likely to attend a four-year college, 50 percent more likely to attend a more selective college and significantly more likely to persist in four-year colleges for at least two years, compared to similar students who did not enroll in the IB Diploma Program. 

  23. IB & University Recognition STUDY: Chicago Postsecondary Transition--The report authors note that “never before in our work in Chicago have we seen coursework have an effect on college persistence.  The fact that it has an effect two years after students graduate speaks to the kind of powerful impact the IB Diploma Program can have on students’ trajectories.”  Indeed, there is considerable cause for optimism about the power of the IB experience to prepare students with the skills necessary to thrive in college.

  24. IB & University Recognition Admissions assumptions: What do universities assume about the IB graduate? • Accepts challenges • Strong academic foundation • Consistency • Excellent research & writing skills • Excellent critical thinking skills • Strong oral presentation skills • Community engagement • Mature & responsible
