How exciting it is to come together as a community to begin our journey toward becoming an authorized PYP IB World School! When and how you might ask? There are three phases to becoming an IB World School.
•Consideration phase:
(feasibility study and identification of resources) The school makes an in-depth analysis of the philosophy and curriculum, and identifies the resources needed to deliver it. (First Year)
•Candidate phase:
(trial implementation period) The school puts in place all the processes and resources needed to deliver the programme, including the training of teachers. The school must then implement the full programme for at least one year.(Second Year)
•Final phase:
School visit by an IB visiting team At the end of the trial period, a delegation appointed by the IB visits the school and evaluates the school’s capacity to deliver the programme. If the outcome is positive, the school becomes authorized to offer the programme and attains the status of IB world School.
(Third Year)
