IB Mission Statement
The International Baccalaureate Organization 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 IBO 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.
