The tremendous growth of the IB in Texas has resulted in the establishment of Texas IB Schools (TIBS), a 501(c)(3) organization and a recognized Association of IB World Schools that supports the general improvement of education for students enrolled in IB programmes in the state of Texas.
To this end, TIBS works to:
ensure a continuity and commitment to the standards of performance espoused by the International Baccalaureate Organization; facilitate quality program development, curriculum improvement and effective implementation of all components of International Baccalaureate through a cooperative exchange; support and sponsor staff development and training in conjunction with the International Baccalaureate Organization and state programs for teachers, counselors, coordinators, and administrators; provide centralized communication for all member programs for general policy, concerns, needs, and ideas; and foster recognition and understanding of International Baccalaureate programs by North American universities and colleges.
