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.
