Introducing ManageBac+: A New Chapter in Teaching & Learning

For over 15 years, ManageBac has been the trusted platform for schools delivering the International Baccalaureate (IB). As education has evolved, so too has our platform—expanding beyond the IB to support a broader range of curricula, school needs and school types. Now, we’re taking the next step in our evolutionary journey with ManageBac+.

Why the Name Change?

ManageBac was originally built for IB schools, and our commitment to IB remains as strong as ever. But over the years, our platform has grown in capability. The new name acknowledges this expanded functionality while keeping the trusted ManageBac identity intact. The ‘+’ in our name represents more—more features, more connectivity, and more ways to empower educators, students, and parents. So, while our name is evolving, our mission stays the same: delivering a smarter, more connected learning experience. You’ll start to see the new name and logo over the coming months as we update our website and key touchpoints.

What Does This Mean for IB Schools?

If you’re an IB school, your experience remains unchanged—only enhanced. We are still the only platform fully integrated with:

• ✅ IB eCoursework & IBIS exam registration
• ✅ Official IB forms, curriculum, and assessment information
• ✅ IB-specific study and revision support

What Does This Mean for Existing Customers?

For our current schools, ManageBac+ delivers more value and an improved user experience at no extra cost. ManageBac+ is a reflection of our commitment to ongoing innovation, refinement, and supporting schools in their educational journey. For existing customers there is nothing they need to do. For example the login site remains the same as do user login details.

What’s New in ManageBac+?
