The dedicated teachers provided continuous feedback and motivated me to strive for excellence in both my academic and personal growth.
What made your time in the IB a positive experience?
My time in the IB system was enriched by various factors that made it a positive and meaningful experience. I particularly appreciated the dedicated teachers who provided continuous feedback, which motivated me to strive for excellence in both my academic and personal growth.
Another aspect I valued was the bilingual nature of the curriculum; everything was taught in English, except for literature subjects, which were taught in their respective languages. This linguistic diversity provided me with a significant advantage at the university, which I did not fully realize while I was in the IB.
What were the benefits of the IB for reaching educational goals and as a lifelong learner?
As a young hardworking student and aspiring businessman, I am grateful for having chosen the IB at high school because of how far I have come.
Although I believe I would have achieved my goals eventually, choosing the IB program provided me with numerous advantages and invaluable skills at an early age of my life. These skills include communication, critical thinking, teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, presentation abilities, creativity, discipline, patience, balance, and effective time management.

Why should students choose the IB?
If I were to recommend the IB program based on a single factor, it would be the ‘keys’ that IB graduates are equipped with. These ‘keys’ are essential in achieving success in various aspects of life, including university studies, professional life, and personal development.
Choosing the IB ensures that you possess these keys upon graduation, allowing you to unlock countless opportunities and succeed in your pursuits.
