Learning at the International School innsbruck is strongly supported by the our school's vision and the learner profile of the International Baccalaureate Organisation
To cater for the development of internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create abetter and more peaceful world.
These attributes alongside others like them, can help individuals and groups become more responsible members of local, regional, national and global communities.
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org
