NIBA Mission Statement
The Northwest Association of IB Schools is a community of IB educators dedicated to the support and development of IB schools, teachers and students. To this end, we work with the International Baccalaureate Organization, our state governments, regional colleges and universities, our schools and districts, and one another. We provide a supportive network, ongoing professional development, and opportunities to engage with IB at the local, state, national, and international level.
Who are we?
The Northwest Association of IB World Schools (NWAIBWS), established in 1992, consists of over 75 PYP/MYP/CP/DP member schools from Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. The organization includes a Board of Directors, as well as elected officers.
