The IB World Student Conference is a summer travel opportunity made available to rising 11th and 12th grade students with scholarship funding available. It is chaperoned by JQUS teachers and staff. At each IB World Student Conference, students from around the world collaborate to develop innovative solutions to global issues. Students hear from inspiring speakers and engage in thoughtful inquiry focused on the conference theme in small sessions. They also participate in excursions and recreational activities.These experiences encourage the building of meaningful relationships with peers and develop international understanding and leadership skills that benefit participants far beyond the conference week.
