Welcome to Bogan's International Baccalaureate Programme! Bogan Computer Technical High School was authorized as an International Baccalaureate World School in 2004. We believe in the IB philosophy of education for a better world, which we demonstrate through the implementation of a challenging curriculum based upon global contexts, approaches to learning skills and the IB Learner Profile. We engage our students in an inquiry based education in preparation for a life of learning in an ever-changing global society. Bogan Computer Technical High School IB students represent the southwest side of Chicago's Ashburn neighborhood with pride! IBO Mission Statement The International Baccalaureate Organization aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the IBO works with schools, government and international organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment. These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
