Luminary Education

IB schools in the UK 🇬🇧

With so many schools to choose from, it can be difficult to know which is the best fit for your child

And when dealing with the UK, choosing between IB and A levels complicates things even further!

We’ve created a guide to help families navigate the decision making process when it comes to choosing an IB school, and in determining whether or not IB is the right choice.

(We’ve also included a few of our favourite schools 😉)

Choosing between A Levels and IB is a difficult decision…

For many international students studying in the UK, IB is a daunting (albeit impressive and beneficial!) choice to make.

In our latest blog post, we explore some of the top IB schools in the UK, explain how to find the best school for you, as well as give an overview of what exactly the IB curriculum is.

What is passive language exposure? 🤔

Passive exposure refers to coming into contact with a language without engaging too actively with it. It can be a great complement to traditional language learning, and helps build fluency, comprehension, and familiarity with whatever language you are learning.

We really want to emphasize thay passive exposure alone won’t teach you how to speak a language, but it can definitely help those who are already on a language-learning journey!

Check out our tips for how to integrate passive language exposure into your routine here 👆
