The IBO Learner Profile

Please download a document here

The IB learner profile is the IB mission statement translated into a set of learning outcomes for the 21st century. It provides our long-term vision of education. It is a set of ideals that can inspire, motivate and focus the work of schools and teachers, uniting them in a common purpose.

Nature of the IB learner profile:

• The attributes of the profile express the values inherent to the IB continuum of international education: these are values that should infuse all elements of the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme and, therefore, the culture and ethos of all IB World Schools.
• The learner profile provides a long-term vision of education.
• It is a set of ideals that can inspire, motivate and focus the work of schools and teachers, uniting them in a common purpose.The IBO’s concept of an educational continuum, and of a coherent, broad-based international curriculum, was fully realized in 1997 with the introduction of the PYP.
• The IBO is now able to offer three programmes of international education and, with them, the prospect of a continuous international educational experience from early childhood to pre-university age. While the IBO now offers a sequence of three programmes—the PYP, the MYP (introduced in 1994) and the Diploma Programme (introduced in 1969)—each programme must continue to be self-contained, since the IBO has no requirement for schools to offer more than one programme.
• However, they must also form an articulated sequence for those schools that teach all three programmes or any sequence of two.With the development of a continuum of international education, it is intended that teachers, students andparents will be able to draw confidently on a recognizable common educational framework, a consistent structure of aims and values and an overarching concept of how to develop international-mindedness.
• The IB learner profile will be at the heart of this common framework, as a clear and concise statement of the aims and values of the IBO, and an embodiment of what the IBO means by “international-mindedness”.
