This is one of those articles that comes along from time to time, talks about the International Baccalaureate program, how advanced and challenging it is, and how "today's International Baccalaureate students are tomorrow's changemakers" and how 'it's a comprehensive, challenging framework that allows students to flourish intellectually, physically, emotionally and ethically, helping them to succeed above their non-IB peers." Nice, hm? I knew about IB when I was in high school and tried to join the program, but was made very aware the fact that as a middle-class student in a regional high school in rural Ontario, such things were not for me. Maybe things have changed. But this article, a sponsored post from IB, gives no indication that they have.
