IB is founded
A group of educators formed IB in response to what they saw as a need for an international approach to education. -
The Middle Years Program
The Middle Years program is launched for students aged 11-16. This program encourages students to think critically and engage authentically with the world around them. -
IB Learner Profile
The IB learner profile is created to describe the qualities and attributes of an IB learner, giving more depth to the courses and programs. -
Update mission statement and learner profile
Update the mission statement to further reflect today's current status. Include more about twenty first century skills and address more fully diversity and bias. Also include new/updated UN sustainability goals. -
ESS curriculum revisited
I expect our environmental conditions to continue to spin out of control over the next several decades. Global climate change and its impacts will become a central idea in this course and possibly play a larger role in the mission statement as a whole. It will also reflect new sustainability goals from the UN that are to be updated in 2030. -
Ability to take courses internationally
IB offers its own study abroad program that offers the ability to take courses at schools around the world.
