[.ca] Schools Across Frontiers: The Story of the International ... (ISBN 0812695054)

Insightful, scholarly, and at times inspirational:
Featuring a foreword by the Prince of Wales, Schools Across Frontiers: The Story Of The International Baccalaureate And The United World Colleges by the late educator and academician Alec Peterson (and now in its second edition), presents the story of the International Baccalaureate and the United World Colleges. The International Baccalaureate is a college examination recognized by universities in any country, and a curriculum that adheres to a common standard amidst diverse cultures; the United World Colleges is a chain of schools in multiple nations where young folks from around the world can live and learn together. Schools Across Frontiers is commended as an insightful, scholarly, and at times inspirational saga of the establishment and spread of knowledge to build a better future across national borders and political boundaries.
