IB Mission Statement
High quality international education for a better world
The International Baccalaureate 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 organization 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.

Diploma Impact Studies• Postsecondary educational attainment of IB Diploma Programme candidates
from US high schools (2013)
• Exploring the benefits of the International Baccalaureate Extended Essay for
university studies at the University of Virginia (2013)
• Working to my potential: experience of CPS students in the IB Diploma
Programme (2012)
• Performance in first college courses of Florida IB students (2011)
• Postsecondary enrollment patterns of IB Certificate and Diploma Candidates
from international high schools (2011)
• These studies, and more, can be found at:

• Key Findings:
• Compared to a matched comparison group, DP students more likely
to:
• go to college
• go to a selective college
• persist in college for at least two years.*
• DP students in college reported:
• feeling prepared to succeed and, indeed, excel in their coursework
• their strong academic skills, work ethic, motivation, time management and willingness to seek help as sources of strength in the transition to college-level work
• their preparation in the DP as the source of their success as college students.
*Outcomes do not take into account IB exam or overall DP scores, suggesting that the benefits extend to all DP students, not just those who earn the diploma.
