5 steps to prepare your child for university and future life
1. Choose the Best Education Program for your child early
The curriculum is one of the necessary factors that determine the long-term development of the children’s future. A progressive educational program and a good learning environment are what parents always care about so that their children can develop both academic foundation and essential skills in the 21st century. International Baccalaureate can be seen as an excellent university preparation for global citizens with a focus on comprehensive and rigorous education and is recognized by many prestigious universities around the world.
Benefits of the IB for students
IB students develop strong academic, social, and emotional characteristics. They are also likely to perform well academically – often better than students on the national curriculum. Many studies have shown the benefits of the IB Program, which are:
- Universities tend to admit IB students at a higher rate than their non-IB counterparts.
- Students are taught and learned in an interdisciplinary approach.
- Become lifelong, knowledgeable learners.
- Open-minded, and principled.
Research also shows that, regardless of an IB student’s background or socio-economic status, they do exceptionally well at university and in most cases. The intensity of IB is one of the factors which makes it appear ‘difficult’. Students, to a large extent, have to perform as all-rounders. IB ensures that student’s education is not only limited to their classrooms with the help of CAS (Community, Action, Service), Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge.
Admissions departments at Universities also understand that IB students who graduate from this challenging academic program are equipped with the necessary skills to flourish at university and life beyond.
