Accessing ManageBac is straightforward. The specific login page is typically https://[schoolname].managebac.com . For FIS, parents and students should use the login credentials provided by the school. New families will receive a welcome message containing personal login instructions ahead of their child's first day.
ManageBac is not just a grade book; it is a "curriculum-first learning platform." At FIS, it serves as the central nervous system for the IB continuum. Unlike generic US-based apps like Canvas or Schoology, ManageBac is built specifically for the philosophy of the IB: criterion-based grading, ATL (Approaches to Learning) skills, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service).
The software acts as a secure multi-role environment tailored specifically for international education standards.
Pro-tip: If you are a parent and cannot log in, you do not have a "ManageBac password." You must request an invitation link from the FIS IT department or your child's homeroom advisor.
