Embedded in IB are research-based teaching methods and curricula that are drawn from the best practices in education across the globe, such as Vedanta of ancient India, China, Japan, Germany, and so forth. It is a world-leading curriculum framework that encourages students to discover the potential hidden within themselves.
IB is a world-renowned school system that promotes students' self-advocacy and intellectual expansion, not just learning by memory and just for examination purposes.
IB programme emphasizes practical, application-based learning in a concept-driven curriculum. It aims to make students capable of all-round development by incorporating research and problem-solving skills.
The approach emphasizes teaching children "how to learn" by using their inherent strengths and not just "what to learn". Rather than testing students' memory or speed through exams, IB assessments test their knowledge and skills. There are no prescribed textbooks to be studied.
In comparison to other boards and universities around the world, IB school graduates have a higher chance of getting into top colleges and universities.
Students become more responsible for their own learning. They begin to develop problem-solving instincts, as from primary up to diploma level, they come up with real-life solutions to the challenges posed in the real world. It is a learner-centric approach.
Frequent participation in professional development opportunities is required of the teachers to remain aware of the current educational practices and new ideas, fostering a sense of belonging in the students and helping them behave ethically their entire lives.
IB has a broad spectrum of subjects and learners have the option of choosing the subject of their choice. Consequently, they can specialize in that subject and excel in their field.
'Inquiring' is a vital ingredient of the IB curriculum which helps students to become excellent communicators and inquirers, and also helps them in thinking critically and independently. The curriculum does not cater to just academics, but also to personal development and global citizenship.
Global citizenship is the purpose of IB, and its students have international awareness and strong academic, personal, and social characteristics. The curriculum prepares them for higher education and helps them comprehend global issues of importance.
A positive school environment develops various academic traits in students such as intelligence, self-confidence, care and love for others, resulting in excellent academic performance and a successful life. IB follows interdisciplinary teaching methods to develop the students into open-minded individuals.
Compared to their peers from non-IB schools, IB students volunteer in service-learning projects in and outside the school in a more proactive way by possessing a flexible mindset rather than being fixed in their thinking. From the primary grades on, IB curriculum cultivates independent thinking and research skills.
The IB school aims at improving the horizons of children despite their racial and cultural diversity. These schools are capable of bringing the whole world into a classroom. They teach students to appreciate everyone and the unity in a community's diversity.
An International Baccalaureate School's curriculum is broad and balanced. Students are taught the concepts independently by observing nature and by observing real-life problems that they encounter in life. This helps them build analytical and reasoning ability which will serve them well in real life scenarios.
The programme offers the chance to accomplish a wide range of academic goals, including learning at least two languages, excelling in academic subjects, and exploring the nature of knowledge through the programme's unconventional courses.
