Visual Arts in the IB

What is an International Baccalaureate school?

Schools offering the IB curriculum have rigorous academic expectations and place an emphasis on global citizenship and exceptional personal character. Character education and international-mindedness are a part of every IB discipline, including the Visual Arts.

The IB's Mission: 
"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."
