The International Baccalaureate® (IB) offers many benefits to teachers. IB teachers are given access to high-quality professional development that encourages critical thinking, self-reflection, and dedication to lifelong learning and continuous improvement.

The IB Organization is a global organization with nearly five thousand high-performing schools around the world employing over seventy thousand educators and reaching more than one million students. IB programs focus on curriculums that develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who are motivated to succeed. IB has grown in reputation and popularity, and there are now more than seventy PK–12 schools offering IB programs in Virginia, including several close to Mason.
