Learning and Life in Pre-U
Our vision is to be a school where every member of the ISB community excels.​
​
Our mission is to provide a holistic and inclusive education where all students feel safe and have opportunities to develop understanding, skills and values needed for life and global citizenship.
At Pre-U, our 16-18 year old students build on their previous learning and prepare for the future.
​
Our key goals are to inspire minds, shape values and build futures.
Pre-U: IB Programme
At Pre-U (16-18) we offer the IB - an aspirational, global and modern curriculum that inspires children to become their own drivers for success and change.
​
We firmly believe that the International Baccalaureate (IB) is the best programme for our students. It is a rigorous academic program emphasising academic achievement, critical thinking, research skills and community service.
It has great heritage and reputation, and has been operating worldwide for almost 60 years and is in place in almost 5500 schools in around 160 countries around the world (as of June 2022). ​
The IB Programme encourages students to:
-
ask challenging questions
-
learn how to learn
-
develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture
-
develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from other countries and cultures
​​
The IB programme at ISB ensures that our students leave school prepared for university, prepared for the challenges they will face but, more than this, able to actively participate in society as open minded, principled global citizens.
