International Student Placement Centre

Although the International Baccalaureate (IB) program has been around for decades – expatriates living abroad who enrolled their kids in international schools were among the Americans most familiar with the IB – more US schools are beginning to offer an IB diploma as an alternative to the Advanced Placement program. While the rigorous academics of an IB curriculum will benefit any college-bound student, the IB program is especially beneficial to students keen on gaining global perspectives and international competency for today's increasingly multicultural world.

International Baccalaureate Mission

According to the IB's website, the International Baccalaureate is a not-for-profit educational organization that strives to develop “inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.”

The IB develops challenging international educational programs and rigorous assessments, and supports member schools who are committed to the International Baccalaureate's mission.
