Curriculum

IBPYP International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) and the Cambridge curriculum are two distinct yet globally recognized educational frameworks.

IBPYP

  • Focuses on nurturing young learners' curiosity and fostering a lifelong love for learning.
  • Emphasizes inquiry-based learning, encouraging students to explore concepts through real-world connections
  • Aims to develop internationally minded students who demonstrate the attributes of the IB learner profile, such as being inquirers, thinkers, and communicators.

Cambridge

  • Offers a structured, knowledge-based curriculum with a clear progression in subjects like English, Mathematics, and Science.
  • Focuses on building strong subject foundations, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
  • Encourages students to develop a deep understanding of content while preparing them for international benchmarks at higher levels.

CBSE

  • Curriculum: CBSE offers a structured curriculum with a focus on Science, Math, Social Science, and Humanities. It also emphasizes skill-based learning, co-curricular activities, and the overall development of students.
  • Examinations: CBSE conducts two main examinations
    AISSE (Class 10): The All India Secondary School Examination
