Mission
We strive for continuous improvement, collaboration between schools, and the development and promotion of the IB ethos and its programmes.
History
In December 2021 The Caucasus and Central Asia Association of IB World Schools (CCAAIBWS) was established with the forming of the Board consisting of The European Azerbaijan School, The Tbilisi European School and The Nazarbayev Intellectual School in Nur-Sultan. Directors of the three schools officially signed and declared the establishment of the association. This was quickly followed by the first International Experiential Learning Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan on 10-12th December 2021. It was hosted by the European Azerbaijan School and saw international and local experts and educators come together to share experiences and ideas.
The association is moving from strength to strength and during the latest months has welcomed more members, to a current total of 15. The 31st of January saw the first online meeting of the association during which the members discussed supporting schools, developing opportunities for teachers, students and leaders, collaborating and promoting the association.
