Study Abroad as Fuel for the IB Journey

The IB Diploma Program challenges students to think globally, act responsibly, and engage meaningfully with diverse perspectives. In this interactive session, we’ll explore how study abroad experiences can reinforce key IB outcomes, from Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills and global-mindedness to personal growth, reflection, and CAS engagement. Join fellow educators in a collaborative conversation about how schools can intentionally incorporate summer, semester, homestay, and other international experiences into the broader IB journey, including before 11th grade.​​
