Who is AAIBS?

Whois The AAIBS was established specifically to assist schools in Australasia, providing a network of professional support, information and service. Schools new to the IB programme will find such assistance particularly useful.

The Association also organises an annual conference in conjunction with workshops run by IBAP, and produces a variety of support materials as well as organising IB approved workshops in its own right. 

The AAIBS Standing Committee is committed, amongst other goals, to represent and support the various IB groups and networks across Australasia. There are now many groups in Australasia and it is important that these networks have a united voice in lobbying with Educational Authorities, Tertiary Admissions Centres, Universities and the IB and AAIBS works with to support these IB school networks.

What is the IB?

Ib The International Baccalaureate (IB) aims to develop inquiring, and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. The IB offers high quality programmes of international education to a worldwide community of schools.

The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is suited to students aged 3-12. The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is suited to students aged 11-16. The Diploma Programme (DP) is suited to students aged 16-19.

These three IB programmes for students aged 3 to 19 help develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world. There are approximately one million IB students at over four thousand schools in more than 140 countries.
