    The International Baccalaureate® is an organization (www.ibo.org) that provides educational programs for students aged 3-19. IB programs challenge students to excel in their studies and encourage both personal and academic achievement. It focuses on helping the student become inquisitive, reflective, active in their community, independent, respectful and compassionate towards their fellow human beings. It also emphasizes open-mindedness, tolerance and fosters global awareness in students.
