Thinking of the world as the wider context for learning
The concept of international mindedness is an essential part of the International Baccalaureate (IB).
The characteristics of the IB mission statement and learning community profile reflect the multidimensional construct of international mindedness, which includes social responsibility, interconnectedness, openness and perspective-taking.
The IB Leaner Profile
This is one of the ways in which we promote international mindedness with emphasis on human capacities and responsibilities that transcend academic success.
It is central to encouraging students to focus on learning.
