| Programme Structure |
|
| The IB curriculum is divided into four programmes: |
|
| 1. Primary Years Programme (PYP): For students aged 3–12 (KG to Grade 5) |
|
| 2. Middle Years Programme (MYP): For students aged 11–16 (Grades 6–10) |
|
| 3. Diploma Programme (DP): For students aged 16–19 (Grades 11–12) |
|
| 4. Career-related Programme (CP): For students aged 16–19 focused on vocational and skill-based pathways |
|
| Each programme fosters independent thinking, intercultural respect, and academic integrity. The curriculum framework encourages inquiry-based learning and focuses on concepts that transcend disciplinary boundaries, making students not just academically prepared but also socially responsible. |
|
| Key Features |
|
| Transdisciplinary Learning: The IB curriculum is organized around concepts rather than isolated subjects, especially in the PYP and MYP. This fosters connections between ideas and real-world applications. |
|
| International-Mindedness: The IB learner profile aims to cultivate students who are knowledgeable, principled, open-minded, caring, and reflective. |
|
| Community & Service: All IB students participate in projects that emphasize community engagement, fostering civic responsibility and empathy. |
|
| Global Recognition: IB diplomas are accepted by universities in over 140 countries. In India, top institutions including Delhi University, Ashoka University, and OP Jindal accept IB scores. |
|
| Academic Rigor: Especially in the Diploma Programme, students undertake deep academic inquiry, complete independent research through the Extended Essay, and develop critical thinking through Theory of Knowledge (TOK). |
|
| Subject Groups (Diploma Programme) |
