IB World Schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high quality programmes of international education that share a powerful vision. **

*Only schools authorized by the International Baccalaureate can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years  Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme or the IB Career-related Certificate (IBCC). Candidate  status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.

**Mission Statement from the IB
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  programmes 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.
