The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences can also be right.

- The IB learner profile represents 10 attributes valued by IB World Schools. We believe these attributes, and others like them, can help individuals and groups become responsible members of local, national and global communities
Curriculum structure
Diploma programme is a balanced programme of study across six subjects; three at higher level, three at standard level, which must include language and mathematics.
A number of opportunities exist for students to develop specialized knowledge and skills in topics that interest them the most. While these opportunities are certainly the best preparation for university education, IB Diploma students also develop the ability to take on new ideas from across disciplines throughout their lives.
Students select the six subjects by choosing one from each of the following groups. A sixth subject is an elective subject, which means that students can choose another subject from groups 2, 3 or 4.
DP students also follow the Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) programme, prepare an Extended Essay (EE) and take the Theory of Knowledge course (TOK).
