The IB, explained for parents
IB is a programme framework as well as an assessment system. PYP and MYP schools design learning within IB requirements, while Diploma Programme courses culminate in externally assessed and internally assessed components. A useful tuition plan identifies the exact subject, level, prescribed content and school deadlines.
