Operating an IB School and offering IB Programmes requires a very substantial commitment from schools and the parents of students participating in the programmes. It requires dedicated and trained IB coordinators, teachers and staff which represents a very significant investment by the schools.
Parents also make a significant investment in additional fees for their children to experience and succeed in completion of the IB Programmes.
Consequently IB schools are being encouraged and demanded by parents and students to become truly digital schools, to provide supportive 21st century learning environments!
Concord recognises and appreciates the required dedication and investment by IB Schools and has been working closely with them and researching IB-specific requirements to develop modern online systems that meet their needs.
bacPoint™ is Concord's first IB-specific solution. It streamlines the management and completion of programme core requirements for coordinators, students, supervisors and teachers online.
The first core programme supported by bacPoint™ is the IB Diploma CAS core requirement. IB Schools told us this is where they felt we could be of most help to coordinators and students. Click here for more information.
Other core requirement programme support for the IB Diploma, Middle Years Program and Primary Years Programme are under early requirements analysis and expected in the coming year.
