The team at , the school that opened its doors in Colwood in September after 10 years in Shawnigan Lake, know teaching students in a broad-based, global way gives them a leg up as they move forward in life.
HereB次元官网网址檚 how:
- Academics + global social consciousness
Part of the IB World School programB次元官网网址檚 mandate is B次元官网网址渢o develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people.B次元官网网址�
While that may, in itself, be enough to pique your interest, thereB次元官网网址檚 also the post-secondary success rate of IB students. Jerry Salvador, Brookes Westshore Head of School, notes that IB students complete their bachelorB次元官网网址檚 degree on average 96 per cent of the time. In B.C., that compares to an overall undergraduate completion rate of between 56.5 and 76.4 per cent.
The key, Salvador says, is IB students come into university well prepared for the pace and academic challenges theyB次元官网网址檒l face. In fact, the IB Diploma Program (Grades 11 and 12) sees many IB students get a head start by completing first-year university equivalent courses. B次元官网网址淭hatB次元官网网址檚 one great advantage,B次元官网网址� he says. B次元官网网址淏ut more importantly, students feel comfortable at university, theyB次元官网网址檙e independent, critical thinkers, good researchers and have learned how to work collaboratively.B次元官网网址�
Among the benefits of studying at an International Baccalaureate school, Salvador says, is students are examined using IB world standards, rather than being assessed on a local or regional basis. B次元官网网址淭hatB次元官网网址檚 why the universities know exactly what it means to come out of an IB program; the IB does the assessment and itB次元官网网址檚 criteria-based, not norm-based.B次元官网网址�
