IB means International Baccalaureate. I am in the IB program at my school, but I dislike it because it makes us do 10x the works normal students do.

So who's in IB in their school?

Well, here's some more info for those who said, "What is that??"

"The IB is a nonprofit educational foundation, motivated by its mission, focused on the student.

Our three 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.

Founded in 1968, we currently work with 2,585
schools in 134 countries to develop and offer three challenging programmes to over 701,000 students aged 3 to 19 years."

My daughter is in the IB Middle Years Programme. Their school has been participating in it for 2 years now. I really like it because it challenges students to have a better understanding of the world around them.

No, that's not it. It's like when you apply for a magnet school. Magnet schools are schools with certain special courses or programs to help or entertain students, like an Arts magnet, that focuses on literary, performing, and visual arts. But some schools are IB Magnets, and that means that the students there will, as KarenBearHug said, will be more prepared for all the changes of the world around them and be more prepared for jobs that aren't even invented yet, things like that. It gives them a better understanding. But it also takes away their electives, Lol. Who is in an IB program? 465488
