Shaping the Future of Education: Eastwood Schools and the IB Online Program

At Eastwood Schools, we are always striving to stay ahead in education innovation, ensuring our students receive the best opportunities to thrive. Recently, Dr. Michel Khoury, CEO of Eastwood Schools, met with Mr. Olli-Pekka Heinonen, Director General of the International Baccalaureate (IB), in Geneva, Switzerland. Their discussions centered around a groundbreaking development in global education—the IB’s decision to take its program online.

Empowering Students Around the World
The introduction of the online IB program is set to revolutionize access to world-class education. This initiative empowers students worldwide by:

Expanding Access: Students who may not have had the opportunity to enroll in IB schools due to location or financial constraints can now access a globally recognized qualification.

Flexibility for Athletes: Student athletes can continue training in their fields while completing their education on a schedule that suits their needs.

Innovative Assessments: A shift from traditional examination papers to more dynamic, online assessments that reflect modern learning approaches.

A Collaborative Future
Dr. Khoury highlighted the potential for IB schools to collaborate with non-IB schools in sharing resources, developing teacher training, and creating new content and courses. This collaboration fosters a more inclusive and enriched educational landscape, benefiting students and educators alike.

Supporting Students in Crisis
Eastwood Global is proud to work alongside IB associations across the Middle East to support students displaced by conflict and disaster. Our commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality education ensures that young learners can continue their studies despite challenging circumstances.
