More details

Already in its third academic year, Pamoja Education serves IB students and IB World Schools® offering May exams in 37 countries around the world. Preparations are now underway for the 2012-2013 academic year, when students will have a choice of 11 courses, covering four of the six IB subject groups.

Pamoja Education's online Diploma courses represent the very best in online pedagogy: courses are student-centric but teacher-led, designed to promote rich student-teacher and student-student interaction.

Classes are limited to a maximum of 25 students, with class sections balanced to ensure a geographically diverse student body - leading to global working relationships which are anything but "virtual".

Each course is developed by a team of experienced IB teachers, selected in close consultation with the IB. Lesson plans ensure that students master the Diploma Programme curriculum while also developing 21st century learning skills which will prove beneficial throughout their academic and professional careers.

In creating and delivering its online courses, Pamoja Education works closely with the International Baccalaureate to ensure full compliance with the IB's rigorous standards and quality assurance processes. All Pamoja Education online courses are fully recognised by the IB, in fulfilment of Certificate and Diploma requirements. The IB evaluates and provides ongoing review of course content, teacher selection/training and course delivery - all of which helps Pamoja Education to maintain the highest quality student experience and academic achievement
