IB Schools Testimonials

Lisa McSweeney
Former IBCP Coordinator 

It has been a privilege to teach the SUMAS CP Business and Sustainability course over the last two years at Prem. As a Business Teacher I have enjoyed exploring the innovative nature of this course with my students. The practical application is what sets it apart, giving our students real-life business experience in the Shangri-la Hotel was an unforgettable experience. Essential skills, required for the workplace, are developed and honed for each student through a balanced range of activities and assessments. I found SUMAS staff to be highly professional and responsive.

SUMAS CrS programme is that the course offers so much more than just the business management, emphasising the forward way of thinking, operating and governing the business, the ultimate business model that every organisation, company and business entities should follow and adopt. The course challenges students to think about the notion of sustainability and the achievement of a balance between economic progress, ecological equilibrium, and social equity. Another strength of the programme is the flexibility and adaptability offered by SUMAS whereby students feel supported, listened to and challenged to bring out the best of their potential and capability.

IBCP is one of the fastest growing high school curricula worldwide, designed to provide students with a well-structured and purposeful career-focused pathway. It offers a distinctive blend of academic rigour through selected Diploma Programme (DP) subjects while simultaneously developing personal, professional, and transferable skills through its unique core components. This holistic structure ensures that students are not only grounded in strong theoretical knowledge but are also equipped with the adaptability, critical thinking, and resilience required to meet the challenges of the 21st century global landscape.

At the heart of the IBCP lies its most defining feature, the Career-related Studies (CrS). This component is specifically designed to help students explore and develop a clear career pathway that aligns with their aspirations, strengths, and future goals. Among the many distinguished CrS providers, the Sustainability Management School (SUMAS) has emerged as one of the most sought-after partners. SUMAS offers the career pathway in “Business & Sustainability,” a uniquely designed program that integrates core knowledge of Fundamental Business, Leadership, and the Philosophy of Sustainability.

“IBCP with SUMAS has been a transformative journey for our students and our school. It offers the perfect balance between academic rigor and real-world application, equipping learners with the skills, mindset, and the global awareness they need for the future. SUMAS’ focus on sustainability, business innovation, and ethical leadership resonates deeply with the school’s vision and today’s challenges in the field of Business and Sustainability.

Our students thrive in this pathway — not only do they excel in their DP subjects, but they also engage meaningfully with sustainability projects, internships, and reflective practices that prepare them for higher education and beyond. I have witnessed students grow into confident, responsible, and forward-thinking young adults who understand that success is not just about personal achievement, but about making a positive impact.

As a coordinator, I value the strong collaboration with SUMAS. Their responsive team, engaging resources, and real-world expertise enrich our students’ learning experience and make implementation smooth and rewarding. The IBCP with SUMAS is more than a qualification; it’s a mindset shift — one that empowers our learners to be the change they want to see in the world.”

“As the IBCP Coordinator at WISS, I have witnessed first hand how the SUMAS CrS® program empowers our students to become responsible global citizens and future leaders. It equips them with the knowledge, skills, and ethical mindset required to address the pressing challenges our planet faces today. Through engaging coursework, experiential learning opportunities, and meaningful industry collaborations, our students develop a deep understanding of sustainability principles and acquire the tools necessary to implement them in real-world settings.
One of the key strengths of the program lies in SUMAS’ commitment to flexibility and adaptability. Our students not only receive a comprehensive education in sustainable business practices, but they also benefit from a supportive and inclusive learning environment. SUMAS values the individuality and potential of each student, providing them with the necessary guidance and encouragement to unlock their true capabilities.”

The SUMAS CrS courses that students at Chadwick International have undertaken are well designed and delivered.  Additionally, the students have reported back to me how much they feel challenged and have enjoyed the courses thus far.  As a CP Coordinator, I have felt very connected to the staff at SUMAS through frequent communication and dialogue.  The mix of synchronous and asynchronous lessons has been very useful for the students.  Overall, the students and I have felt very supported by the SUMAS staff and instructors.  We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with SUMAS for many years to come!
