Over the past few years, many of my students have pursued further studies at some of the world’s most prestigious universities, including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, UCLA, Imperial College, and among others. Many of them have grown to become professionals or started up businesses after university. Over the years I’ve received many messages telling me about experiences  learning a new language, or continuing to use Chinese in college or beyond. To my delight, students appreciated the critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and even creative skills they developed in my classroom. IB has prepared them well for their future studies or careers. IB is a tool, but your future is the goal.
