International Baccalaureate (IB) was conceived in the late 1960's in Geneva, Switzerland for children of diplomats and has since spread to more than 3,000 schools around the world. Some schools offer this curriculum as an alternative to AP courses.
IB is a rigorous academic curriculum that can be implemented across all grades. It is void of multiple-choice tests and instead embraces in-depth research and writing projects that encourage critical thought. It is typically a two-year training process for a school to be accredited to have an IB program. Some of the schools listed here offer IB in high school while others offer it system wide in grades K-12.
