THE IB IN UNITED STATES
The world's largest IB market, with nearly 97,000 Diploma candidates across 1,900+ schools.
The United States leads the world in IB education, with nearly 97,000 students sitting Diploma and Career-related exams each year. Almost 9 out of 10 of its 1,924 IB World Schools are public schools, spread across 48 states and Washington DC. California, Florida and Texas are IB hotspots, and around 350 US colleges and universities now award credit for strong IB results — with research showing IB students are more likely to enroll in and graduate from college.
Our tutors bring the subject-level depth and exam technique that IB students across the US need to perform at their best. Whether the goal is a strong DP score for competitive college admissions or targeted support in a single HL subject, they work with students who know exactly what the IB demands — because they've been through it themselves.
