The IB curriculum is considered the gold-standard in the field of progressive, future-facing education. Research has shown many benefits for its graduates; from the breadth of study to its emphasis on languages, from preferential selection by university admissions to better degree results and higher resilience for university life. IB students have also been shown to have more developed critical thinking and problem-solving skills - unsurprising, perhaps, considering that the IB curriculum is famed for it's hands-on, real-world experiences and independently-driven research projects.
