01
Check official IB programme status
Confirm that a school offers the programme and subjects your child needs. The IB pathway can vary by campus, cohort, and subject demand, so official school information should guide decisions.
02
Ask about subject fit
A strong school match includes the right subject combination, HL/SL options, timetable feasibility, and support for IA, TOK, and Extended Essay milestones.
03
Think about the support system
Some students thrive with intense independence. Others need more external structure. Tutoring can help fill gaps in subject confidence, exam technique, and weekly accountability.
Ask how the school supports students before mocks and final exams.
Check how feedback is handled for major assessments.
Consider whether the student has enough time for sport, rest, and revision.
