About the seminar:

 
The world is adopting the IB philosophy and framework in a big way. In the last 5 years, the programmes have grown by 89%. Now, 3,370 schools in 141 countries share the IB approach and deliver the programmes to approximately 1,010,000 students world-wide. Such growth is testimony to the strong foundation and excellence in education that IB Schools provide. 

This 60-minute seminar will provide a closer look at the IB framework and how it is delivered at ACG International School. We will find out about the characteristics of an IB student and how the programme offers a strong foundation for success at University. We will also hear parents and students speak about their experiences within an IB World School.
