IB Mission Statement
The International Baccalaureate Organization aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create
a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the IBO works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of
international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that
other people, with their differences, can also be right.
L’Organisation du Baccalauréat International (IBO) a pour but de développer chez les jeunes la curiosité intellectuelle, les
connaissances et la sensibilité nécessaires pour contribuer à bâtir un monde meilleur et plus paisible, dans un esprit d’entente
mutuelle et de respect interculturel.
À cette fin, l’IBO collabore avec des établissements scolaires, des gouvernements et des organisations internationales pour mettre au
point des programmes d’éducation internationale stimulants et des méthodes d’évaluation rigoureuses.
Ces programmes encouragent les élèves de tout pays à apprendre activement tout au long de leur vie, à être empreints de compassion,
et à comprendre que les autres, en étant différents, puissent aussi être dans le vrai.
La Organización del Bachillerato Internacional tiene como meta formar jóvenes solidarios, informados y ávidos de conocimiento,
capaces de contribuir a crear un mundo mejor y más pacífico, en el marco del entendimiento mutuo y el respeto intercultural.
En pos de este objetivo, la Organización del Bachillerato Internacional colabora con establecimientos escolares, gobiernos y
organizaciones internacionales para crear y desarrollar programas de educación internacional exigentes y métodos de evaluación rigurosos.
Estos programas alientan a estudiantes del mundo entero a adoptar una actitud activa de aprendizaje durante toda su vida, a ser
compasivos y a entender que otras personas, con sus diferencias, también pueden estar en lo cierto.
