AB  - Elisabeth Fox traces the origins and development of the International Baccalaureate program as an outgrowth of continuing curriculum innovation in international schools. She describes its rapid expansion in North America, where many school systems are attracted by its challenging academic curriculum. Worldwide university recognition of the program is steadily increasing. Fox concludes by considering the prospects for future development, with particular emphasis on attempts to move the Baccalaureate beyond its Euro-centric origins.
