IB Approaches to Learning (ATL) are skills and strategies that students develop throughout their international baccalaureate (ib) education. These skills are designed to support students in becoming lifelong learners and successful in their academic, personal, and professional endeavors. There are five categories of ATL skills: 

• Thinking Skills

• Communication Skills

• Social Skills

• Self-management Skills

• Research Skills

Developing ATL skills helps students become more confident, independent learners, and equips them with the necessary tools to succeed in higher education and beyond.
