Mercedes College is one of only a few schools world-wide to offer an international curriculum for all students from Reception to Year 12 and the first to offer all three International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes in the Asia-Pacific region.
The concept of internationalism builds on the fundamental Christian philosophy embodied in the aims of the College - to encourage respect, to give recognition and understanding to the rights of all people and the capacity to move beyond self-interest and to serve those who stand in need.
Benefits of an IB Programme for Students
Students at International Baccalaureate (IB) World Schools are given a unique education. IB World School students develop strong academic, social and emotional characteristics.
They will:
- be encouraged to think independently and drive their own learning
- take part in programmes of education that can lead them to some of the highest ranking universities around the world
- become more culturally aware, through the development of a second language
- be able to engage with people in an increasingly globalised, rapidly changing world.
