About IB

The mission of the Robinson International Baccalaureate program is to provide highly self-motivated learners with a rigorous, comprehensive and compassionate course of study, preparing students for the challenges they will meet after high school. Interdisciplinary in approach with an emphasis on imagination and creativity, the IB curriculum focuses on the students' ability to analyze, think critically, problem-solve, and ultimately apply what they have studied. As an IB site, Robinson Secondary School will provide opportunities for students and staff to continue to work towards consistently higher standards, striving to develop a further appreciation of learning as a reward in itself. Students will view themselves as citizens of both local and international communities who possess a strong global awareness and a recognition of their responsibility and commitment to others.

The International Baccalaureate Diploma is recognized by colleges and universities throughout the world and is indicative of outstanding preparation for successfully completing college level work. Since each institution of higher learning awards college credit at different levels, each student should contact the specific college or university in which he/she is interested to determine the amount of college credit that will be awarded for successfully completing an IB course or a full IB diploma.
