What our families are saying
When we migrated to Australia with our twin boys, we were keen that they obtain their education with a global orientation and that their perspective does not get restricted by a relatively inward-looking state curriculum.
[At the time] in WA, only Scotch College was offering the International Baccalaureate Programme and for us it was an easy choice to enroll our boys at Scotch right from Middle School. We believe the boys gained immensely from both Middle Years Programme and IB Diploma Programme and are quite certain that IB contributed significantly to our boys being able to secure admission into the top 10 global universities of their choice in the US and UK. We would recommend the IB Programme to all, even if there is no plan to go overseas for university.
At the minimum, the overall style of the IB Programme makes the student think more broadly and critically and prepares them to engage better with people in an increasingly globalized, competitive and dynamic world.
