Education for a changing world
In a rapidly changing world, education must go beyond memorization. It must foster curiosity, critical thinking and a global vision. This is where the International Baccalaureate (IB) makes the difference.
At Zürich Schule Barcelona, we have adopted the philosophy of the IB through the programs PYP (Primary School Program) y MYP (Middle Years Program) to develop students who not only excel academically, but also become empathetic and proactive citizens of the world.
What makes the International Baccalaureate unique?
The IB is more than a curriculum: it is a globally recognized educational framework that focuses on the development of the whole student. It promotes the active and inquiry-based learning, where students become the protagonists of their own knowledge.
The program is supported by the IB Learning Community Profile, which fosters attributes such as inquiry, critical thinking, effective communication, open-mindedness and solidarity.
