I chose the IB Diploma Program because it allowed me to explore my interests in a rewarding way. Between the broader curriculum than AP classes and individual projects like the Extended Essay, I could fully explore all the academic topics I wanted. I also found the IB core, including Theory of Knowledge, to perfectly complement the rest of the IB program, creating a difficult yet rewarding program.

I think ISB’s most attractive and perhaps most important quality is students’ preparation for a high school diploma and either a French or International Baccalaureate. I can attest that this goal drives a very disciplined and intensive approach to education.

I chose the IB Diploma Program because of the well-rounded, multilingual, and multicultural education it provides. I was given a chance to flourish in an environment where I could learn new languages and delve into topics and subjects that truly interested me. The IB allowed me to not only learn about fascinating subjects but also enriched me with a deeper understanding of the "how" and "why" of the world and greater universe.
