The school that brought the IB to the East End
2012
Overview
\"What makes the IB special is that we are a very multi-cultural school and a lot of the things we believe in match the IB principles,\" says Geraldine Naughten, [George Green]'s director of sixth-form studies and IB programme co-ordinator. \"The IB offers a very broad education. It means you don't specialise too early and you can keep your options open until you are 18. It is also an excellent preparation for university.\" \"I've been going to George Green's for seven years now and I think it's improved a massive amount and it's because we've been able to have funding for things like the IB. If a school like George Green's was just left isolated in an area like ours and always told, 'You're a deprived school', then it wouldn't have got as good as it is now,\" she says. \"The international aspect of the IB is very different and unusual for a school like this. I think that's the greatest benefit, to be able to mix with people from all over the world. It's brought a whole different group of people to the area specifically for this qualification. As someone born and raised on the Isle of Dogs that's something I really appreciate. It brings change to the area. It's nice to learn from my peers about their respective countries and customs,\" [Todd Bishop] says.
