The International Baccalaureate at St Paul’s

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is embedded throughout St Paul’s and is much more than just what students are taught – it is how they are encouraged to learn.

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, providing a continuous IB programme from Pre-Kindergarten right through to Year 12, St Paul’s offers an education that prepares students for a future rich in opportunities.

Jayson Paterson has twenty years of experience in delivering the IB Diploma Programme (DP) at St Paul’s. Amongst other roles, he is currently the Principal Examiner for the IB DP Visual Arts Higher Level Process Portfolio. His long-term commitment to the school and delivery of the IB is representative of the dedication that many teachers across St Paul’s display and reflects the value placed in the unique education St Paul’s provides. “The IB has significant impacts on the school culture at St Paul’s – in student engagement with critical thinking, independent learning and global awareness. This is observable at our student exhibitions and in the breadth and depth of work presented in the numerous Arts showcases conducted over a normal year.

As a school, our engagement with the IB Programmes is a distinctive quality and we have a global reputation for our expertise. This is evidenced in the large number of our staff who are engaged by the IB in a range of capacities. “
