The IB @ UCC

Upper Canada College is committed to providing boys with the highest-quality education possible — at every age and stage of their development. We believe that International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes offer the world’s best curricular framework for meeting this commitment.

The remarkable IB journey begins from a boy’s first day in our Preparatory School and continues through to completion of the IB Diploma — considered the “gold card” to enhanced post-secondary opportunities.

The IB Learner Profile describes the characteristics of UCC students.

As an IB World School, UCC aims to develop well-rounded boys with character who respond to challenges with optimism and an open mind. We prepare our students to apply what they learn in real-world, complex and unpredictable situations. The IB programmes at UCC are unique and are enhanced by years of research and discovery in boys’ learning.

IB Learner Profile

At all ages, our IB learners strive to become inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced and reflective. These attributes, identified in the “IB Learner Profile,” represent a broad range of capacities and responsibilities that go beyond intellectual development and academic success.
