Where will the 16 year olds of today work? What skills will they need? Many will be doing jobs that have not been invented yet. Many of our pupils and many teachers have already lived abroad. The Head of IB Diploma, Mr Richard Atherton, who has taught in Brazil and Italy says "As an A Level student myself, I so regret giving up languages - those two extra years in the Sixth Form would have taken me fluency, instead it is skill lost to me. Although English is the world language, make no mistake - do not expect everyone in the room to speak it just because you can't speak their language; it doesn't work like that. Similarly, Numeracy skills, communication skills and all the other things you get from a rounded IB education will stand you in good stead.

People say that it is a smaller and smaller world, I believe the opposite is true. Get out there!" There are more than 872,000 IB students at 3,070 schools in 139 countries.

Wellington students make so many connections around the world.  For example, a recent IB contact in the Rhode Island School of Design - the best in the world - has made links with the IB because of the awesome IB Art  course.  One of our current students will be heading off there for her degree.
