The Western International School of Shanghai is the first and only full-continuum IB World School in mainland China offering the four programmes of the International Baccalaureate (IB).  This allows us to provide the entire and unbroken IB curriculum model leading to the world's most sought-after qualification for university entry.


At WISS, we are dedicated to the IB Mission of creating a better world through education. As an IB World School, WISS has been visited, inspected, and approved by the International Baccalaureate Organization.


IB World Schools maintain their high quality through the regular professional development of staff, effective delivery of cutting-edge teaching practice, and a rigorous approach to inquiry-based learning. Schools authorized by the IB must put students at the center of everything they do, treat learning holistically from multiple perspectives, emphasize strong communication skills, and promote intercultural awareness. The IB conducts regular evaluations to ensure schools provide a learning culture aligned with its international philosophy and goals.

The International Baccalaureate Organization is a non-profit educational organization established in 1968. A 17-member Council of Foundations governs it.  The IBO is funded by fees from IB World Schools, with additional income from workshops and catalog sales. Donors provide support for development projects that cannot be implemented from the organization’s budget.


The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end, the IBO works with schools, governments, and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students worldwide to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be correct.

WHAT IS AN IB EDUCATION

PARENT PACK

The IB focuses on each student as a whole person. Thus, IB programmes address cognitive development and social, emotional, and physical well-being. The aim is to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people with adaptable skills to tackle society’s complex challenges and who will help to make it a better, more peaceful world.

The IB Continuum of International Education

IB learners strive to become inquirers, knowledgeable thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced, and reflective. These attributes of internationally-minded people represent a broad range of human capacities and responsibilities that go beyond intellectual development and academic success.

TIPS

Make your IB Credentials stand out in the University application process

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) student, you are distinctive and will bring unique attributes to whatever university or college you ultimately attend. The challenge is bringing those qualities, in addition to grades and standardized test scores, to the attention of admissions officers.

Connecting the ib to the core

Over 40 states in the United States have adopted and are currently implementing the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes and the CCSS share certain aspects in common. This fact sheet was developed in response to frequently asked questions from IB parents.
