New courses are the product of a curriculum development cycle which investigates (among other topics):● other syllabuses from awarding bodies and curriculums around the world● feedback from universities on suitability● current broader trends within the discipline, including pedagogy and assessment

Challenge: Solution:How do we implement new IB mathematics courses effectively while maintaining current course sequences, meeting compliance, supporting student and teacher wellness, and facing declining enrollment in our schools?

Embrace IB for All

IB Learner Profile

Embracing IB for AllEmbracing IB will benefit students as every course becomes more able to integrate the Approaches to Teaching and Learning.

IB Education

Goal: To develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

Students should be encouraged to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand, that other people with their differences, can also be right.
