advanced learning

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction has partnered with the International Baccalaureate (IB) to expand access to advanced learning opportunities across the state, aiming to make rigorous, globally recognised education more accessible to all students. Through initiatives like the District IB Leader Network, enhanced collaboration between schools and districts, and targeted professional development for educators, the partnership is strengthening the implementation of IB programmes and improving support systems. The effort reflects a broader commitment to educational equity, innovation, and preparing students with the critical thinking, global awareness, and skills needed for future success.
