"The IB is only for exceptionally gifted students." Is that actually true?

Parents who look into the IB tend to be well informed. And yet certain misconceptions keep coming up in our consultations — ranging from recognition to requirements.

Every year, between 120 and 140 students complete their IB Diploma at schools in the UK through us. The question of recognition in Germany is one of our specialist areas: we advise every family on the right subject choices, so that all pathways remain open at the end.

After 30 years of IB consultancy, we know that some assumptions have a remarkable shelf life. What holds up, what doesn't, and what has changed in the meantime — we've pulled it together in this post on Instagram.
