International Baccalaureate

When you partner with United World Schools, you not only transform the future of an out-of-school community through education, you will also inspire your students to make a global impact.

Many of our Partner Schools use their UWS school partnership as a key element of their IB programme and CAS activities.

BECOME A PARTNER SCHOOL TODAY 

“Being a partnered with UWS Som School fits very well with the International Baccalaureate philosophy of developing internationally-minded citizens.”
Chris Harding, Gold Creek School


Teacher icon.How can a UWS partnership support the IB?

  • Form international links with Cambodia, Myanmar and Nepal
  • Detailed case studies, pictures, and videos to support learning
  • Recognition of student leadership with our Global Citizenship Award
  • Opportunity for learners to contribute towards elements of Creativity, Action and Service
  • Tailored IB curriculum resources to support your learning

What have other schools done? 

Teachers from Redmaids' High School, UK explained how they have incorporated their UWS partnership into the IB curriculum:

Extended Essay

The 'Extended Essay' is a compulsory part of the Diploma Programme. The link to UWS schools provides an opportunity for cross-curricular research and enquiry (and real-life interviews). 

Theory of knowledge

In 'Theory of Knowledge" pupils explore what is knowledge and what is worthwhile knowledge. Pupils explore knowledge as a key driver of development and as an indicator of culture. This is especially effective for groups who have visited a UWS school. 

Creativity, action and service

The final part of the core of the IB is creativity, action and service. Fundraising for UWS can be used by students to help them fulfil the experiential learning outcomes, especially in taking on new challenges, considering ethical implications of action and considering global dimensions of their CAS activity. 

Additional links

Other areas of the curriculum (including history, geography and literature) can also be linked to the countries UWS works in.
