Even though it launched more than 50 years ago, the International Baccalaureate still needs explaining, especially to parents just beginning to research school options for their little ones and to some expats who have come to Dubai from countries where the IB is just beginning to take root.
Educators around the world, however, understand the history and opportunities that an IB education affords students, and why colleges and universities tend to admit IB students at a higher rate than their non-IB counterparts. So, what is so special about an IB education?
Malcolm Nicolson, acknowledged as a world-class educational thinker and IB Specialist, who worked for the International Baccalaureate as Head of Curriculum Development for nearly a decade, answers some key questions about the IB as a preview of a broader online presentation he will be giving at Fairgreen International School’s upcoming Virtual Open Day for prospective families on Wednesday, 16 September, at 11am via Zoom conference.
Located in The Sustainable City Dubai, Fairgreen is an International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum school founded by Esol Education, and it is the first sustainability-focused school in Dubai, incorporating sustainability as an integral part of its IB programme.
