Overview
IB online courses in China
Across China, demand for international education is growing rapidly. However, due to staffing challenges, many IB schools in China struggle to offer a full range of IB Diploma Programme subjects. From major cities like Shanghai and Beijing, to academic hubs such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Xiamen, these schools are increasingly looking for flexible ways to provide the broadest possible International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme curriculum.
We’re proud to be the only online course provider authorised by the IB to deliver official DP subjects. We work in partnership with IB schools and candidate schools across China, supporting them to expand their subject offerings, relieve staffing pressures, and open up new opportunities for their students. Our structured yet flexible online courses offer a reliable way for students to study the IB subjects they’re passionate about, guided by experienced IB teachers – from anywhere in China.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Pamoja support IB schools?
We provide structured yet flexible online courses, close collaboration with schools’ Site-Based Coordinators, highly accurate predicted grades, regular progress tracking, and mock exam guidance so schools can empower their students to excel with confidence.
Are Pamoja courses recognised by global universities?
Yes. All our online courses are part of the official IB Diploma Programme and are recognised by universities worldwide – including top institutions in the US, Canada, and beyond.
Is Pamoja selective?
No, we are not a selective school. We pride ourselves on being academically inclusive, and we enrol students regardless of their academic starting point. With teacher-led support and a structured online learning model, we help every student reach their potential and achieve their potential.
Can we start with just one or two students?
Yes. Many schools begin their partnership with us by registering a small cohort – for example, offering a single low-demand subject for a select few students, then expanding as interest and capability grow.
