Shanghai Arete Bilingual School

The ‘IB Educational Ecology Leadership: Summit on Full Programme Integrationand Innovative Development,’ hosted by the IBO and organized by SABS,successfully concluded. This summit is a milestone for SABS, as it marks not only the school's debut at an official IBO forum under its new identity as a ‘Full IB School,’ but also its independent organization of such a high-profile, large-scale international education summit. This historic leap forward signifies that SABS's influence in the field of international education is gradually expanding, and it also highlights our outstanding capabilities in IB education practice and exploration. The speeches and panel discussions organized by SABS teachers were highly praised by attendees, fully demonstrating the professional competence of SABS's teaching team as IB educators. In this era of ‘degree inflation’ and ‘skill shortages,’ the IBCP is a bold choice made by SABS in the absence of standard answers. The logical starting point for this choice is simple: ‘Every individual deserves the sense of professional achievement and personal happiness that comes with their life.’ We hope all participating teachers gain insights and grow alongside SABS! SABS will continue to strive toward becoming a full IB school, achieving new heights in the international education arena. [more]
