The IB Diploma Learner Profile
The aim of all International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes is to develop globally-minded young people who, recognising their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.
These attributes complement our ICS international school's mission perfectly, leading to a seamless relationship between our wider curriculum and school values, and the IB learner profile.
International ICS schools and IB programmes nurture all of these values and build a culture of students who love learning and who will want to continue learning throughout their life.
Benefits of an IB education
Research from leading institutions shows that IB students are more likely than their peers to succeed in higher international education. Joining the IB journey with an ICS school as early as possible in a student´s education holds enormous benefits. They will:
- be encouraged to think independently and to be responsible for their own learning
- take part of a dynamic education and see how the IB Students perform in comparison with A-Level Students.
- become more culturally aware, through an international environment with 60+ nationalities
- be able to engage with people in an increasingly globalised, rapidly changing world
- develop strong academic, social and emotional characteristics
- be likely to perform well academically; often better than students on other programmes
- develop an opening up to the international market
- join a worldwide alumni network of contacts for life
- learn how to ask challenging questions, develop research skills and to think critically.
