Mid-Atlantic Association of IB World Schools

The Mid-Atlantic Association of IB World Schools is pleased to offer the 2025 Subject Bootcamp in two versions: in-person on Sept. 20, and virtual on October 4, 2025.

The IBMA bootcamp does not replace or count for official IB training, but is designed to provide teachers new to your building or subject an overview of the nuts and bolts or learning/teaching, IB philosophies, and organization of their courses. Experienced and recommended facilitators from around the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond will be sharing their expertise in three two-hour sessions.

The IBMA Subject Bootcamp is designed for new teachers and administrators in current IB schools who will not have a chance to attend IB training due to time or monetary constraints.

The Subject Bootcamp would also be appropriate for established IB schools who are considering adding a new subject and would like to hear an overview to see if that subject would best meet their needs. Sessions will be held for a wide range of subjects for all IB Programmes (PYP, MYP, DP, and CP).

The In-Person boot camp will cost $200 per participant. Each session will require a minimum of 3 participants to run. The deadline to register for the in-person boot camp is Friday, September 12. Any sessions with fewer than 3 participants at this point will be moved to the virtual session on October 4.

The Virtual boot camp will cost $175 per participant and will run on Saturday, October 4 with a tech check-in on Friday, October 3.

NEW THIS YEAR: You can register participants at any time, but will not be billed until after the event. This will ensure that we bill you the correct amount, allowing us to take into account if your participants will be attending in person or virtually. The In-Person sessions must have a minimum of 3 participants to run.
