The International Baccalaureate, more commonly known as the IB, is a secondary school credential founded in 1968 in Geneva, Switzerland. It was designed to provide a universal, standardised and more importantly, transferable diploma for students who would move abroad. The IB program is different from the ATAR, Australia's conventional secondary education scheme. Upon entering year 11, students can choose the educational curriculum (ATAR or IB) they would like to pursue in order to complete their high school diploma. While in the past most have found themselves sitting the ATAR, now, more and more students are opting to undergo the IB program for its challenging curriculum and potential benefits upon applying for university.
