The International Baccalaureate program
The International Baccalaureate program provides a course of study and tools for assessing students as well as programs for training teachers. The non-profit International Baccalaureate Foundation, based in Geneva, Switzerland, has consultative status with UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.
Students in the IB program are assessed by their own teachers as well as by international educators from around the world. Nearly 30,000 students are assessed each year by the IB Organization, and usually 80 percent of students graduate with a diploma recognized by such esteemed universities as the Sorbonne, Yale, and Oxford.
IB Diploma Program (IBDP)
One of the most popular IB programs offered by private and non-public schools in Warsaw is the IB Diploma Program (IBDP). This is a two-year, advanced secondary school curriculum. It’s for students aged 16 to 19.
The IBDP curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the IBDP core, comprising theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS), and an extended essay. Through this core curriculum, students reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research, and complete a project that often involves community service.
