IB World School

The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme has been offered at EARJ since 1982, contributing to make our institution one of Latin America’s most respected international teaching institutions.

EARJ is officially recognized as a fully authorized International Baccalaureate® Primary Years Programme (PYP) school, a candidate school* for the International Baccalaureate® Middle Years Programme, and pursuing authorization as an IB World School.

IB World Schools share a common philosophy — a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high quality programmes of international education that share a powerful vision.

Mission Statement

The International Baccalaureate® 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 organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.

These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

Roadmap to the MYP: Candidate Phase

EARJ has developed a comprehensive two-year roadmap toward the implementation of the MYP. During the 2021-2022 Candidate Phase, the focus is on educating our faculty, students and parents on the programme. Training and presentations are being offered to these various groups to ensure they have an understanding of the programme standards and practices.

*Only schools authorized by the International Baccalaureate can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme or the IB Career-related Certificate (IBCC). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org
