- consider varied contexts – personal, local and global – when engaging in their units of learning and the related conversations;
- engage with a diverse group of people in an increasingly globalised and rapidly changing world;
- become more culturally aware through learning additional languages and developing a rich understanding of varied cultures and countries;
- drive their own learning through ongoing self-reflection to determine their current strengths and ascertain the steps needed to enhance their personal understanding and skills;
- participate in programmes of education that can lead to entry into some of the highest-ranking universities in the world.
The International Baccalaureate further enhances the rigorous, globally-aligned academic programme at our preparatory schools, preparing students to excel at college and beyond.
