The IB Advantage
The IB programmes offer an academic approach with an unprecedented emphasis on personal development, equipping you well for post-secondary education and life beyond Brookes.

You’ll be motivated to drive your own learning. Before you know it, you’ll be trailblazing the path to your own success at university and beyond.
Respect for Other Cultures
In classrooms with students and teachers from around the globe, you’ll be encouraged to view the world through a culturally inclusive lens.
Well-Rounded Characters
You’ll focus on your academic, social and emotional skills, graduating with a well-rounded character and strong foundation for learning.
Stress Management Skills
You’ll be better prepared to navigate the strenuous academic requirements of university with advanced planning, time-management and study skills.
University Credits
With well-planned classes, your high school credits could be applied to first-year university studies—saving you as much as one year’s tuition.
Joy of Learning
With an interactive, personalized, supportive environment, learning will feel more fun, and you’ll be challenged to find opportunity within failure.
IB Learner Attributes
The IB learner profile represents 10 attributes valued by IB World Schools. We support our students in fostering these attributes to help them become more responsible members of local, national and global communities.
Brookes Saint Petersbrurg School is a candidate school* for the PYP, MYP and DP. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy, a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education, that we believe is important for our students.
* Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
