How IB is different then other boards

With the ever-expanding global ambit of the current world, it has become so crucial to equip your kids with comprehensive skills and competencies, to truly create a “global citizen”.  As a result of that, any education-related decision you make for your child is not just confined to picking out just a school, and you need to be very confident when it comes to deciding on the board too.

There are so many options to pick from such as CBSE, CISCE, IB and Cambridge. It has ultimately become a marketplace out there, making the decision for you even more overwhelming.  However, if you are looking for a holistic approach for your child, then IB (International Baccalaureate) should be your preferred option.

If you ask why it is better than the following are some of the reasons why you should consider enrolling your child into international baccalaureate schools.

1) What (IB) boards aim to achieve is much more than other curricula by developing inquiring, knowledgeable and caring about young kids. They strive to develop students who will help us build a better world through intercultural understanding and respect.

IB programme frameworks operate wonderfully and effectively with national curricula at all ages; more than 50% of IB World Schools are state-funded. Moreover, IB boards has some of the best ib schools in Mumbai.

In what sense you ask IB's programmes are different from other curricula? Following is the answer-

• Board encourage students of all ages to think critically and challenge assumptions

• It also helps you develop independently of government and national systems, incorporating quality practice from research and our global community of schools.

• At the same time encourage students of all ages to consider both local and global contexts

• Helps you become multilingual

2) It is a continuum of international education

They boards aim at providing a continuum of education which consists of four programmes that are united by the IB's philosophy and approaches to learning and teaching. The board encourages both personal and academic achievement, challenging students to excel in their studies and in their personal development.

3) They believe in quality practice

IB programmes and schools incorporate quality practice from national and international research and the IB global community. The programme encourages students to be internationally-minded, within a complex and hyper-connected world.

4) With the help of this board, students learn ‘how to learn’.

Throughout all the different IB programmes the board has to offer, your child will approach learning skills and the attributes of the IB learner profile with a fresh mind.

Your kid will be able to take responsibility for their own learning and understand how knowledge itself is constructed, and this will further their unique theory of knowledge (TOK) course. The board encourages them to try different approaches to learning and to take responsibility for their own educational progress.

Their programmes will help IB students:

• ask, without any hesitation, challenging questions

• To think critically

• Develop research skills proven to help them in higher education.

IB programmes and schools also encourage students to be active in their communities and to take their learning beyond academic study.
