THE International Baccalaureate® Diploma Programme (IBDP) is one of the best pathways to the world’s top universities. Now, it’s available in a more flexible and innovative format than ever: the fully online IB Diploma.

But why should you study the IBDP online as opposed to in a traditional school setting? Here are just three advantages.

Study anywhere in the world

The IB Diploma online is an accessible pathway for students across the globe. Since lessons are taught live virtually, students can learn from anywhere they have internet access. With no physical building to maintain, online schools also have fewer overhead costs than traditional private schools, meaning more affordable fees for parents.

Studying online is particularly beneficial for families who move often. When your child can take their IB education with them wherever they go, you’ll never have to worry about how a move will impact their learning again.

Fit learning around your lifestyle

The IBDP is known for its academic rigour. Up until now, the high workload made fitting an IB education around a full lifestyle incredibly difficult. Students with commitments to passions such as acting or athletics, for example, would have a difficult time catching up on classes they missed while out auditioning or train- ing.One of the biggest benefits of studying the IB Diploma online is flexibility. Alongside teaching all lessons live, every class is recorded and uploaded for viewing at any time. These lesson recordings are also a great way to brush up when studying for IBDP examinations.

Get an outstanding learning experience

While studying the IB Diploma online, students will get to use innovative technologies designed to help with knowledge and understanding, from simulations to augmented reality. Great digital classrooms also come with a suite of tools to bolster class discussions, including breakout rooms, polls, quizzes, and more.

María, who lives in the

Aragon region of Spain, has nothing but praise when it comes her online IB experience. “It’s the best,” she says.

Something she didn’t expect was how technology could help her see topics in a different way. “We had an economics lesson in virtual reality (VR), and we were counting cows and chickens! I would never have guessed this was what economics was about. I was expecting lots of graphs.”
