IB Note
British Bolivian School (BBS) marks a national milestone in education – October 2024
British Bolivian School (BBS) has achieved a remarkable distinction by becoming the youngest school in Bolivia to receive the certification for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP). This milestone in the educational history of our community has been reached after just seven years of existence as an Educational institution, reflecting the exceptional commitment to educational excellence that it provides to its students.
This certification places BBS among the few schools nationwide that meet the rigorous standards of academic quality and comprehensive training required by the IB programme. This programme is designed for 11th and 12th-grade students and provides a comprehensive academic education that prepares young people to successfully face the challenges of higher education both within and outside of Bolivia. Moreover, it promotes the development of critical skills such as analytical thinking, research, and problem-solving, which are essential for their academic and professional future.
The International Diploma Programme focuses on academic development and integrates activities in creativity, action, and community service, fostering a balanced approach to education and personal growth. This ensures that students acquire deep knowledge, practical skills, and an invaluable global perspective.
One of the major advantages of this programme is that graduates with the International Baccalaureate gain significant access to admission to prestigious universities around the world compared to other certifications offered locally, giving our graduates educational opportunities at high-level institutions worldwide.
By obtaining the International Baccalaureate Diploma, the British Bolivian School reaffirms its commitment to educational excellence and to forming global citizens capable of transforming the world through knowledge and action. Without a doubt, this achievement marks a turning point in the trajectory of the institution and the students who are part of it.
BBS wishes to express its most sincere gratitude to the entire community for placing their trust in us. This certification emphasizes the effort and dedication of all its members in providing a quality education and preparing students to be future global leaders and critical thinkers.
