Abstract:
 Education in the twenty first century must develop student competencies and skills that will enable them to participate successfully in a changing and unpredictable globalized world.
　Inquiry based learning, which is the foundation of IB pedagogy, has proved to be a sound pedagogy for this in international school contexts.
   Implementing the programmes in a Japanese national setting presents new challenges as well as opportunities.
   How can these challenges be addressed to provide maximum opportunities?
