The world is changing fast and it is a very different place today from what it used to be, especially in terms of what you can study at university and your career options. New roles are being created all the time, and there ae jobs available to young people today that did not exist ten years ago.

1.  What is the IB learner Profile? At the heart of the IB is the 'learner profile' - this is the IB mission statement translated into a set of learning outcomes for the twenty-first century.

Which learner profile attributes do you possess?  

      How do the International Baccalaureate Programmes prepare you for university or college? Well, you might find it interesting to know that there is research that looks at how well students who have done these programmes do not only at Diploma level but also at university and college. The results compare students from the MYP to students who have completed other programmes, and they are very positive. The MYP approach encourages you to think for yourself and to see the difference between classroom information and the world today.

     There are schools that offer other programmes as well as IB courses. Sometimes there is competition about which progrmmme is the best! Everyone believe that their programme is the best option. But what exactly makes the MYP special? It is true to say that one of the main differences is that the MYP not only encourages you to be an independent inquirer but also allows you to explore connections between all the subjects, and you get to complete a personal project which involves lots of research.
