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;

• to facilitate quality program development, curriculum improvement and effective implementation of all components of International Baccalaureate through a cooperative exchange;

• to support and sponsor staff development and training in conjunction with the International Baccalaureate Organization and state programs for teachers, counselor, coordinators, and administrators;

• to provide centralized communication for all member programs for general policy, concerns, needs, and ideas;

• to serve as an International Baccalaureate programs consultation clearing house for sub-regional member and/or non-member schools;

• foster recognition and understanding of International Baccalaureate programs by North American universities and colleges.
