Partner Organizations

La Organización del Bachillerato Internacional (OBI) es una fundación educativa internacional creada en el año 1968 en Ginebra, Suiza. Se encuentra presente en muchos países del mundo. En Costa Rica está presente desde 1991 y al día de hoy forman parte 20 colegios públicos y 33 privados.

Today, the IB is the gold seal of quality for young people who complete the program; it provides them with ample opportunities for university enrollment and future career paths.
Currently our foundation is recognized by the IBO as “The Association of IB World Schools in Costa Rica, Central America, and the Caribbean.”.

The Diploma Program Curriculum

The Diploma Program curriculum of the International Baccalaureate is comprised of six subject groups and the core components: Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), and the Extended Essay.

Thanks to these core modules, the students reflect on the nature of knowledge itself; they conduct independent investigation and complete community service projects.
