Today’s children will live in a future predicted to look quite different than the present. A modern education must prepare students for the very different world they will inherit, one that is ever more challenged by the effects of climate change and environmental destruction, the widening gap between rich and poor, and the fast-paced evolution of artificial intelligence and robotics that will dramatically alter the career landscape.
Preparing children for the future
Providing a platform of learning designed to inspire creativity, innovation and healthy risk-taking, the International Baccalaureate (IB) offers schools a blueprint to create a curriculum that gives young people the life skills they will need to be adaptable for the fast pace of our ever-changing world. As the college years approach, inevitably parents start to think deeper about what the future holds for their children and how they can best continue to guide their education.
Many families consider the IB route for their children because of the stellar reputation IB has cultivated among college and university admissions counsellors worldwide. IB students tend to be prepared for the rigour of college and arrive at university with many of the desired life skills students need to be successful, such as resilience, adaptability and innovative thinking.
