- Two Year Subject Courses
IBinquirers provides schools with subject selection solutions to increase course offerings as part of the school’s program. There is a wide range of subject choices to select from. All instruction of required content, in addition to formative and summative assessments are conducted with IBinquirers’ very qualified, experienced, and certified teachers. Required hours are taken into account for instruction time: standard-level courses are 150 hours; higher-level courses are 240 hours; TOK is 100 hours.
Grades and assessment feedback are shared with the school’s IB coordinator. All paper assessments are sent to schools quarterly to assess students on campus, and then returned to IBinquirers to grade them and provide the necessary feedback. Follow-up on student progress is regularly communicated with the coordinator. Final registration of exams should be completed by the coordinator as students will be assessed through the school.

- – Teacher Training
IBinquirer provides workshops to train subject teachers on Extended Essay. We understand that not all teachers who are required to supervise student extended essays are trained to do so. Therefore, in order to assist schools and teachers who would like to develop this skill to provide the necessary guidance for their students, IBinquirers provides training solutions.
- – Student Supervisor
We acknowledge that some schools do not have the capability to provide an experienced or qualified subject supervisor for their students’ extended essay choices. IBinquirers provides qualified and trained teachers to assist students with their extended essay journey. In addition to guiding and supporting the research and writing process, IBinquirers also assists in the completion of the RPPF and fills in the supervisor comment section.
- CAS – Projects / Trips
Creativity, activity, service (CAS) is one of the three core elements that every student must complete as part of the Diploma Programme (DP). CAS involves students in a range of activities alongside their academic studies. It is not formally assessed. However, students reflect on their CAS experiences as part of the DP, and provide evidence of achieving the seven learning outcomes for CAS.
IBinquirers facilitates different opportunities for students to join and complete their CAS requirements.In addition to guidance on filling out their hours in the proper format, our supervisors provide the necessary commentary for documentation.
- IA Support for all Subjects
The Internal Assessment often known as the “IA” is an assignment that is evaluated by the subject teachers. In recent years, IAs have also been sent off to the IBO to be evaluated by IB examiners. Internal Assessments have particular requirements, and the criteria of their assessment tools are very specific. Since proficient subject knowledge is not the only factor teachers are required to have, IBinquirers provide IA writing support for all subjects to assist students in completing the requirements and fulfilling the criteria to provide a high quality IA.
- Authorization and Evaluation Process Consultation
Many schools want to start an IB program but are unsure where to begin. We can assist schools with the process by providing guided follow up and plans. We can assist with the writing of the policies and assure that the quality is up to the IB standards. The evaluation process is a checking point for the IB to ensure that schools can reflect and develop their program as needed. We can also assist schools with this process and the necessary tasks and reviews that need to be completed.
- Recruitment Services
Finding knowledgeable IB teachers is not an easy task. Unlike any other program its not enough of a qualification to have knowledge of the subject. An IB teacher needs to know how to write and edit an organized research. Needs to understand the importance of research and its impact on the learning process. The approaches to teaching and learning are also key to the foundation of the IB education, and therefore it is important that teachers have mastered this need. Finally it is important that IB teachers are inquirers themselves to cope with the developments of the IB program.
