Richard Markham | Chief Executive Officer

Welcome from our CEO

On behalf of the Officers and Directors of IBSCA, welcome to our website.

IBSCA fulfills an important role on behalf of IB schools and colleges, and I hope our website gives you a good overview of our activities and proves a valuable resource for all those involved with the IB.

Over the past 30 years, IBSCA has built a comprehensive range of services designed to meet the changing needs of schools and teachers. Our IB authorised professional development workshops, seminars and conferences give educators practical, high-quality training throughout the year. Alongside this, our research and advocacy work represents schools’ interests at a wider level, and our close working relationship with the IB means members benefit from insights and access they wouldn’t have on their own. Supporting schools is the foundation of everything we do, and these services are how we put that support into practice.

At the heart of what IBSCA does is the facilitation of collaboration. Schools and teachers are often at different points of their IB journey, and enabling individuals to take stock and learn from other schools is of paramount importance.  With over 140 member schools, the IBSCA network is rich and diverse, and our team of experienced staff are on hand to help you get the most from our services - from training and events to advice and guidance. Please contact us with any queries.

The educational landscape at present is complex and subject to continual change, and IBSCA exists to help schools navigate their way through this complexity. Please take the time to explore the website and make contact with us so that we can include you in our vibrant and energetic community.
