Following a rigorous authorisation process, Lomond is now an IB World School and we are delighted to be offering both the IB Diploma Programme and the IB Career-related Programme in addition to the existing SQA offering of Highers and Advanced Highers.
IB programmes are revered by academics, educators, and schools around the globe. Along with academic rigour, IB Programmes place a great emphasis on enquiry-based learning, deep conceptual understanding and the development of learners for life. At the heart of all IB Programmes is international mindedness: the appreciation that, other people – with their differences – can also be right. Each IB programme contains a Core in addition to the subjects studied, which prepares young people with the real-life skills and attributes required for success in further education and the world of work. It challenges senior pupils to become more independent in their learning, and demands a range of creative, active and service pursuits alongside academic studies.
