The IB model is organized around three programmes (PYP, MYP, and DP), all sharing the philosophy of forming engaged, informed, reflective, and internationally minded individuals. It is implemented in more than 5,700 schools worldwide and in 159 countries, and is internationally recognized for its academic rigor, its active-learning approach, and its ability to develop in students not only knowledge but also skills and key attitudes for life. Its holistic approach fosters curiosity, autonomy, critical thinking, empathy, and global awareness—qualities essential to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
