International Baccalaureate Program, a high school program for exceptionally gifted students, designed to transform once intelligent creative students into conformists of an international curriculum. This program is known for causing ridiculously high stress levels, mutual hatred and competition amongst it's students, repeated mental breakdowns, bloodshed, lack of a social life, and the mastery of bullshitting your way through things.

IB students are typically extremely masochistic and rarely sleep. It is also known to have made students who once felt quite smart to feel quite stupid, thus greatly lowering their self-esteems.

Another name for IB is hell.
Non-IB student: Hey you want to go hang out tonight?

IB student: Sorry, I can't. I have a chemistry formal report due tomorrow, I have to read about 100 pages for biology, read an entire Shakespeare play, write a research paper about Stalin, do an entire chapter of calculus, and volunteer for 8 hours too.

Non-IB student: Damn.

A program created in an attempt to control the minds of the youths of the future, implemented by Swiss lawn gnomes, by preventing their exposure to the outside world.

The state goals of the program are to provide students with an education rounded out accross five program areas ("groups") - including Language 1, Language 2, Social Sciences, Science, Math, and Art/Option. Additional elements of the program include CAS (a system used to force students out of the house once in a while), ToK (philosophy) and Extended Essay.

In an attempt to shove too much information down the throats of students, the program ends up significantly improving the core skill required to succeed in IB: Bullshit. The phrase I.B. therefore I B.S. comes from this.
IB teaches students to turn shit into gold.

A maleveloent programme whose objective is to destroy the race smart students . To go about this, the programme has many methods. The first method is to give superfluous homework. This tactic is used so that the student becomes too overwhelmed with homework that their brains fry into an abyss of nothingness. The second method consists of putting a burden of a 20 ton "backpack" on the students back, making them physically weak and unable to support their own body. Often, during this stage, the student complains of back problems and the development of spinal injury. The third method is to deprive the student of his/her sleep. This makes the students do poorly on their tests and final evaluations. The fourth method, the most evil, is that the program tricks its students into beleiving that they will get into any university they try for. Unfortunatley, several students fall for this. Lastly, to renforce the destruction of the smart, the program usually consists of biased teachers, overacheiving robots DISGUISED as IB students, 150 CAS hours to complete, mind-abolishing essays and useless confusing subjects like TOK.
IB student: "Wow, I FINALLY get to go to bed at 4:00AM! It's an early night!"
