IB Curriculum
What is the International BACCALAUREATE?
Founded in 1968, the International Baccalaureate (IB) is a non-profit educational foundation that offers highly respected international education programs that develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills needed to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world. Schools must be authorized by the IB organization to offer any of these programs.
The IB program has a hard-earned reputation for high standards of teaching, instructional leadership and student achievement. They work with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging international education programs and rigorous assessment.

International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP)
?
?
In the international Elementary School, structured inquiry takes place within the IB PYP framework as the main vehicle for student learning in relevant, real-world contexts. Through experience and discovery, students have countless opportunities to grow. We work as a team so that the children who are educated in WAB's international setting gain the knowledge, skills and understanding so that they can contribute positively to their future communities.

International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP)
?
Starting in Grade 6, our international Middle School lays the groundwork for student success and the transition to High School with years 1-3 of the IB MYP. With this program, students develop an understanding of their own approaches to learning and independence in subject-specific objectives and assessment practices, as well as an appreciation of service and action. These experiences deepen students' understanding of program concepts and what it means to be an internationally minded member of the global community.
In Grades 9-10, IB MYP students study eight courses each year. Grade 10 students complete a MYP Personal Project outside of class time, exposing them to independent research and critical reflection in an area of personal passion and interest early on.
