Dr. Hollinger founded, built and led international schools that offered dual-language International Baccalaureate (IB) Programmes in Arabic, English, French, Greek, Mandarin and Spanish. He now offers his services to assist schools throughout the world with the implementation and authorization of International Baccalaureate Primary, Middle and Diploma Years Programmes.
The IB offers high quality programmes of international education to a worldwide community of schools. The most significant and distinctive feature of the IB Primary Years Programme is the six transdisciplinary themes. These themes are about issues that have meaning for, and are important to, all of us. The programme offers a balance between learning about or through the subject areas, and learning beyond them. The six themes of global significance create a transdisciplinary framework that allows students to "step up" beyond the confines of learning within subject areas.
Life today places many changing demands on students making the transition through adolescence. They are at a crucial period of personal, social, physical and intellectual development, of uncertainty and of questioning. The IB Middle Years Programme is designed to help them find a sense of belonging in the ever-changing and increasingly interrelated world around them and to foster a positive attitude to learning. The IB Middle Years Programme provides a framework of academic challenge that encourages students to embrace and understand the connections between traditional subjects and the real world, and become critical and reflective thinkers.
Life in the 21st century, in an interconnected, globalized world, requires critical-thinking skills and a sense of international-mindedness, something that IB Diploma Programme students learn to know and understand. The IB Diploma Programme is designed as an academically challenging and balanced programme of education with final examinations that prepare student for success at university and life beyond. The programme is normally taught over two years and has gained recognition and respect from the world's leading universities.
