The International Baccalaureate Programme (IB Programme) is a collection of international education programs offered by the International Baccalaureate (IB). These programs include the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) and IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) for older students aged 15-19, the IB Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) for students aged 11 to 16, and the IB Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) for young students aged 3 to 12. 

The IB’s approach to education is generally considered to be more balanced, cosmopolitan, and future-ready than those offered by most mainstream school systems. Enrolling your child in the IB Programme may thus give them the flexibility and outlook needed to succeed in their future endeavors.
