Parents

Parents of current and future IB students are involved in an important decision-making process regarding the education of their child and may be keen to understand the IB programmes as well as the challenges and advantages they may bring.

IB World Schools aim to provide parents with enough detailed information to answer any concerns, and we encourage parents to contact the IB coordinator of their child’s school in order to discuss any doubts or queries they may have.

If a school is not listed on this site, it has not been authorized to offer an IB programme and cannot present itself as an IB World School.

You can find full contact details of all IB World Schools by using the Find an IB World School option on the left-hand side of every page.

Candidate schools

Schools that are preparing to be authorized are known as ‘candidate schools’.

If you don't know whether your school is a 'candidate school', ask your regional office.
