Building a better world through education – IB at EF Academy
/)
The IB program challenges students to excel in their studies, and encourages both personal and academic achievement. The IB is recognized and respected by the world’s leading universities and studies show that students who complete the curriculum have a higher rate of going on to university compared to their non-IB counterparts.
EF Academy opens a world of opportunities for high school students by providing them with a superior education abroad, thorough preparation for university and a future that knows no borders. Our mission is to grow and develop students that are ready to tackle the world and be successful in the globalized 21st century. As our mission runs parallel to the IB, EF Academy is proud to offer the IB program at all three of our schools in New York, Oxford and Torbay.
As a result, we have been featured in ‘A Better World Through Education’ – a current affairs and news style program by ITN Productions and the International Baccalaureate. The film first premiered in the IB Global Conference in the Hague, where intellectuals from all around the world joined together to talk about the future of education and its role in shaping a brighter future for the world. The film explores the IB education and its impact on the world through its students, schools and communities.
