As of the end of 2020, 158 out of 195 countries<\/a> in the world offer IB programs within some of their schools. There are approximately 5,284 different schools worldwide that offer IB programs<\/a>. Luckily for educators looking to go teach IB abroad,<\/a> this number presents tons of opportunities in virtually any country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The number of IB schools and programs found abroad increases by hundreds every year, so it can be expected that teachers who specialize in teaching the IB curriculum<\/a> will increasingly choose to teach abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teaching IB abroad can be quite lucrative, as IB schools typically pay well. Some schools require prior IB teaching experience, but others allow teachers that are not familiar with the IB curriculum to teach it. The schools that fall into the latter category will provide IB training to help teachers get familiar with the curriculum.<\/span><\/p>\n
