IB Diploma Boarding School London

IB is the buzzword for International Schools Worldwide

Any talk of the globalisation of the education system is considered incomplete without a discussion of the merits of the International Baccalaureate Organisation and its programmes.

London, UK (ePressReleases.org) May 27, 2010 - In a context of ever-increasing globalisation, there is huge demand for an academic programme that can offer internationally recognised qualifications. The International Baccalaureate Organisation was formed in Switzerland in the late 1960s as an alternative to the existing education systems at that time. The IB programmes were carefully designed, adhering to quality education practices, while the curriculum it offers was formulated by combining the very best elements from education systems all over the world. Few schools in the world are accredited by the International Baccalaureate Organisation to offer all three of their courses: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the most sought-after International Baccalaureate Diploma.

The International Baccalaureate programmes are now offered by affiliated schools in more than 139 countries across the world. The United States of America and the United Kingdom currently have the largest number of schools that have qualified to offer the International Baccalaureate Organisation courses. "The IB courses give students a greater advantage over other children of the same age. The students learning the IB curriculum are more focused and taught to ask challenging questions and explore a wider array of subjects throughout their education years", explains student counsellor Richard Buttreck. "There are many parents who specifically ask about the academic curriculum that will be followed by the school at which they are looking to enrol their children. With the increase in the income of households where both parents are professionals, there is an increased desire to provide children with better quality education, even if it comes at a higher price", adds Richard's colleague Shiela Anderson.

Most of the parents around the world that choose to send their children to London for their schooling are ensuring that their children not only go to reputable private schools, but that they are also being taught courses of the highest international standards. In most institutions in the category of International school London, the demand for IB courses is increasing. Many international applications specifically request IB Diploma Boarding School London.
