IBO Mission statement

The IBO 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.

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a line of study with high academic standards that challenges our students and gives them excellent knowledge in six chosen subjects as well as the common core areas of the programme.

The central ideologies and principles within the IB programme stimulate and develop personality as well as sense of empathy and altruism and are fully embraced by the IBDP at Torsbergsgymnasiet. Our IB learners, as well as their teachers, strive to become inquirers, knowledgeable, communicators, thinkers, open-minded, caring, principled, risk-takers, balanced as well as reflective. These attributes create a balanced, whole person who, we believe, is prepared to embark on life with a purpose to create a better world with firmer and more peaceful bonds between different individuals and cultures; a more peaceful world.

The possibility to choose subjects at different levels encourages our students to become motivated since they can study challenging subjects they are interested in. Having studied at a programme of an international nature also stimulates to develop our students’ personality as well as their sense of empathy and altruism. This adds to the motivation of our students, both on an academic level as well as engendering global commitment and understanding.

We at Torsbergsgymnasiet are very proud to offer this programme to students in our region.
