IB mission statement

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.

Language B (French at Sarah Smith)

The primary aim of language B is to encourage students to gain competence in a modern language other than their mother tongue, with the long-term goal of balanced bilingualism.
In addition, the study of language B aims to:
encourage in the student a respect for and understanding of other languages and cultures
provide a skills base to facilitate further language learning.

Proficiency in a second language gives students:

access to a broader range of input, experiences and perspectives
the enjoyment of being able to communicate in a language other than their mother tongue.
It is also acknowledged that learning another language greatly contributes to the holistic development of students and is believed to raise achievement in other subject areas.
