Abstract
The International Baccalaureate (IB) has a long record and a strong reputation for providing a “gold standard’ of rigorous academic programs and exam systems, and for preparing and certifying students around the world to be ready for university entry. To “be IB” has become a mark of distinction. With its demanding requirements and assessments, its academic and international orientation, and its aspirations for admission to highly selective universities, IB has often been seen as an “elite” program, but while the original Diploma Programme was often both elective and selective, the MYP and PYP are more intended to be whole school programs, open to all students.
