The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.

As IB learners, we strive to be:

• Inquirers: We nurture our curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. We know how to learn independently and with others. We learn with enthusiasm and sustain our love of learning throughout life.
• Open-Minded: We critically appreciate our own cultures and personal histories, as well as the values and traditions of others. We seek and evaluate a range of points of view, and we are willing to grow from the experiences.
• Knowledgeable: We develop and use conceptual understanding, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines. We engage with issues and ideas that have local and global significance.
• Caring: We show empathy, compassion and respect. We have a commitment to service, and we act to make a positive difference in the lives of others and in the world around us.
• Thinkers: We use critical and creative thinking skills to analyse and take responsible action on complex problems. We exercise initiatives in making reasoned, ethical decisions.
• Risk-Takers: We approach uncertainty with forethought and determination; we work independently and cooperatively to explore new ideas and innovative strategies. We are resourceful and resilient in the face of challenges and change.
• Communicators: We express ourselves confidently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. We collaborate effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups.
• Balanced: We understand the importance of balancing different aspects of our lives – intellectual, physical, and emotional – to achieve well-being for ourselves and others. We recognize our interdependence with other people and with the world in which we live.
• Principled: We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.
• Reflective: We thoughtfully consider the world and our own ideas and experience. We work to understand our strengths and weaknesses in order to support our learning and personal development.

Our aim is to develop the student's academic and social skills, preparing them for university and life by focusing on responsibility, community, and commitment.

When attending BG, we expect you to take your studies seriously, but BG is not just a place where you come and receive teaching and then go home again. There are plenty of extracurricular activities, both academic, creative, sports and service activities, which we hope that you cannot help but engage in.

Our dedicated teachers all have a Master’s degree from university and teacher training, and several are IB examiners.

Our experienced IB student counselors help the students apply for further studies. After the IB, the vast majority of our students apply to universities abroad, and the IB Diploma program is recognized and appreciated by universities all over the world.
