The IB Diploma Programme, praised by scholars, educators and students
| "Schools all over the world are turning to the IB as a way not just to give their students a global academic credential, but much more to equip them to be good citizens of the world in their own individual way,” said Mr. McRae. “I gave a talk about the changing world economy to a group of IB people and came away thrilled by what I had learnt. Visiting schools in the UK, the USA and, by chance, Estonia totally confirmed this view. It is wonderful to know that the next generation of people who will be running the show is so good." Hamish McRae Award winning journalist and author of “The World in 2020”, in an excerpt from his latest venture “What Works: Success in Stressful Times” |

“One of the great things about the IB Diploma, is that it is much more than an examination….Students develop, among other attributes, a genuine sense of enquiry, independent thinking and learning, and an appreciation of the value of teamwork and leadership in a global society." Headteacher Katy Ricks, Sevenoaks School, Sevenoaks, Kent and Winner of the Independent Secondary School of the Year 2008 |
