In a time when the way society works is constantly changing, IB recognizes that it’s not enough to give knowledge; discoveries are made on a daily basis, and information can be updated or disregarded at a drop of a hat. So, it aims to give us something better: The inquisitive mindset it takes to thrive in an ever-evolving culture.

The moment we step through the doors, we are urged to push ourselves to become better than we … [Read more]

Southville International School and Colleges brought back again this year the Academic Induction Program for the International Baccalaureate Students recently.

Another thing is, those students who finish their tenth-grade in March/April find themselves having too much time at their hands with their limited choices for academic preparation prior to entering the program.

This year’s … [Read more]
