Transcending Borders – The International Baccalaureate’s Systemic Approach To Educating The Whole Person
The recently published Brookings Institution Case Study of the PYP is well worth a read for parents of all PYP students. Please read the full case study here.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) education system is one of seven educational systems globally recently recognized in a report by the Brookings Institution as setting high expectations for both academic learning and holistic student development.
The case study indicates that by including a focus on all aspects of a student, not just the academic, the IB offers a transformational educational experience for students compared to traditional systems that focus primarily on academics.
