Programme, and to carry their logo.

This means that, alongside all of the subject content,

activities and study support you would expect to see
in a classroom resource, you can feel confident that:

mindedness and the IB learner profile – so that it is embedded in your
students’ day-to-day learning

3 The experienced IB teachers and examiners writing the books really

understand what you and your students need to be well-rounded and
successful participants in the IB Diploma Programme
The Course Companions series has been produced in cooperation with the IB. The individual titles feature in their
relevant subject section throughout the catalogue and are marked with the IB logo. The IB has not been involved
in the production of any other books that feature in this catalogue and does not endorse their content.
