Why the IB Makes a Difference

Thousands of colleges and universities around the world recognize the International Baccalaureate Diploma for admissions, placement, and, in many cases, college credit. The program prepares students to actively participate in the global community in a thoughtful and intelligent manner. In addition to the six major disciplines, the IB curriculum emphasizes community service and the development of an international perspective. As a result, students graduate high school ready to excel and take on the great challenges of our time.
