International Baccalaureate (IB)
A global curriculum framework with PYP, MYP, and Diploma Programme pathways - often using 1-7 grading and May/November exam sessions.
IB World Schools coordinate programmes across age bands, with DP subjects grouped into course groups and core components such as TOK, CAS, and the extended essay.
School software for IB schools should support IB-aligned academic calendars, subject catalogs, gradebook publish gates, and honest reporting - without forcing a national-board template.
