International Baccalaureate
Create a better and more peaceful world. The International Baccalaureate (IB) 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.
IB offers high-quality international education programmes to one million students in more than 150 countries, with 93 programmes in Michigan:
- 36 DIPLOMA PROGRAMMES
- 34 MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAMMES
