IBO - International Baccalaureate Organization, established in the late 60s was originally designed to cater for the educational needs of globally mobile students in international schools. It was developed as a compromise between the specialization in some national systems of education and the education of a broader, academic breadth. The main objective of the programme is to educate young people for the needs of the 21st century global world.
There are about 1300 school all over the world which are authorized and follow the IBO curriculum in one, two or all three of its programmes ( Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme). Since its founding, the Diploma Programme has become the leading, internationally recognized pre-university education. IB graduates are most welcome students in all universities worldwide.
The IBO Diploma Programme is designed for ambitious, well-motivated young people who, besides gaining academic knowledge and skills of high standard , desire to develop inquiry and thinking. A student in an IBO Diploma Programme not only learns, but also experiences the knowledge through research and experiments carried out in and outside classroom.
The Diploma exam session is taken by ca. 400 students in Poland every year; around 30,000 students sit the exams in schools in the northern hemisphere in May. Polish students do very well in the exam, obtaining the average score of 36 points out of 45 maximum score.
World top universities require 32-34 points score on the Diploma for university entry.
The IB Diplomas are officially recognized in Poland and are equivalent to a Polish certificate of secondary education (¶wiadectwo dojrzało¶ci).
