To succeed in an International Baccalaureate program, one should understand the ins and outs of it and what it takes to succeed. The IB curriculum differs quite a bit from those of public middle schools and high schools. Doing well in an IB program takes more than good grades on exams, so let’s take a greater look at what an IB program consists of.
An IB program is known to be made up of a thorough, well-rounded curriculum that encourages the accelerated growth of its students and instills values of critical thinking and a high level of responsibility. It’s important to understand the IB Learner profile that defines this curriculum. Students are expected to develop and grow a set of 10 traits that will eventually become the marker of which they are assessed.
There are 6 IB classes that fall into their own respective category. These classes encompass sciences, maths, literature, language, economics/history, and the arts. There are also different levels of difficulty that are categorized by the breadth and depth of coursework. A class of a higher difficulty will encourage greater inquisition from students and require deeper critical thinking and listening skills.
