IB学校获得IBO授权究竟有多难？

IB 学校认证之路，道阻且长 The road to IB school accreditation is long and difficult一所学校能获得IB授权必须经过IBO非常严格的审核，在办学使命&教育理念、组织架构、师资力量&授课技能、学校硬件设施和课程体系上完全符合标准才可获得授权。

According to the procedures and standards officially issued by IBO to apply for IB school authorization, a school must pass strict examination by IBO and be authorized only when it meets the standards in terms of mission & educational philosophy, organizational structure, faculty & teaching skills, school hardware facilities and curriculum system.

授权过程因学校的具体申请时间和申请课程的不同而异，但通常需要3-4年的时间完成从申请到授权的整个过程。但实际上，如果是新学校申请，包括准备期到正式授权，这个周期往往需要3~5年时间。

The authorization process varies by school and program, but it usually takes 3-4 years to complete the entire process from application to authorization. But in practice, if it is a new school application, including the preparation period to formal authorization, this cycle often takes 3 to 5 years.

IB课程体系包小学项目IBPYP，中学项目IBMYP，大学预科项目IBDP，IB职业相关课程IBCP四个阶段项目。每一个项目的申请都是一个漫长而繁琐的过程，每一所IB学校的产生都需要经历四个阶段：考虑阶段—申请阶段—候选阶段—授权阶段，可谓是过五关斩六将。

The school needs to make the necessary adjustments to become an IB world school, including the following three adjustments: Before applying to become an IB school, schools need to seriously consider whether to apply to become an IB school, because the school has to go through 3-4 or even 5 years of efforts to obtain the final authorization in the process of applying for IB school certification.

The school is subject to the supervision of the IBO, and must pass an evaluation process every five years to fully meet the certification standards of the IB program (attached picture) in order to remain authorized. Despite the complexity of the procedures and procedures, IB schools around the world are able to maintain a consistent level and excellent quality of teaching under such strict standards.

作为IB学校，以完善的课程体系作为优质教育的基础，培养学生成长为积极探究/知识渊博/勤于思考/终身学习者。在IB PYP项目中，幼儿需通过真实的学习来达到最佳的学习效果，即以“我们是谁？”“我们如何组织自己”“我们如何表达自己”“世界如何运作”“我们身处什么时空”“共享地球”这六大超学科主题来开展探究学习，与“现实”世界相关联，而非局限在传统学科局限内。
IB PYP项目的特色在于激发幼儿的能动性，培养幼儿自我探究能力。在探究学习过程中以幼儿为主导，教师负责引导与促进他们建构知识，通过全维度学习社区支持，鼓励幼儿自主深度探究与提问，引导幼儿根据“导入—发现—搜集资料—深入分析—做出反思—行动”这六个步骤来进行积极探究。

The IB school curriculum system is excellent, good at giving guidance.

As an IB school, with a perfect curriculum system as the basis of quality education, we develop students to grow into a lifelong learners, inquirer, knowledgeable, thinker.In the IB PYP program, students need to achieve the best learning results through real learning, that is on the basis of six super themes,including " Who are we?"" How we organize ourselves "" How we express ourselves "" How the world works "" Where we are in place and time” "and" Shared the planet "  to carry out inquiry learning, related to the" real " world, rather than limited to the limitations of traditional disciplines.The characteristic feature of IB PYP project is to stimulate children's initiative and cultivate children's self-exploration ability.In the process of inquiry learning, children are the leading group adn teeachers are responsible for guiding and promoting their construction of knowledge. Through full-dimensional learning community support, children are encouraged to make independent in-depth inquiry and questions, and children are guided to actively explore according to the six steps of "introduction- -discovery- -data collection- -in-depth analysis- -reflection- -action".

作为IBPYP学校与学生校园生活的一个里程碑，IBPYP项目学习成果展综合了项目的5大要素，并在整个学校社区中进行分享与交流。这是对学生在IBPYP经历中所掌握的知识和技能的庆祝，是一个涉及自我反思、合作、探究、行动和向观众展示的实质性的高潮;这也是一个让学生向他们的社区甚至世界分享他们的信息的机会。学习成果展不仅是学生能动性的积极体现，学生发挥领导作用与自主精神，对他们的作品和学习拥有发言权、选择权和归属权;是学生参与一项合作开展的、有深度的探究活动;能为学生提供探索多种观点的机会;使学生综合运用已有经验，并对已有学习经历进行反思;为评估学生的理解提供真实可靠的过程;同时也展示着学生能够如何采取行动。在学习成果展中，学生们精彩的演讲、互动式体验与自发主导行动，充分展示着学生的成长与快乐。
