IB (International Baccalaureate) in Malaysia

IB builds inquiry, writing, and global-minded learning from primary years to Diploma Programme.

Exam & Pathway Snapshot

  • IB offers four programmes for ages 3-19: PYP, MYP, DP, and CP.
  • The DP (ages 16-19) includes external assessment and moderated internal components.
  • Schools must be authorized as IB World Schools before offering IB programmes.

Pros

  • Strong focus on critical thinking, research, and interdisciplinary learning.
  • Widely recognized by universities globally, especially for DP.
  • Good fit for internationally mobile families needing transferable curriculum continuity.

Considerations

  • Heavy coursework and time-management demands in middle/upper years.
  • May be less exam-drill focused than some families expect in early years.
  • Often among higher-fee options in Malaysia.
