The Diploma Programme is a challenging two-year programme of
international education for students aged 16 to 19.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme is a
challenging two-year curriculum, primarily aimed at students aged 16
to 19. It leads to a qualification that is widely recognized by the
world's leading universities
Students learn more than a collection of facts. The Diploma Programme
prepares students for university and encourages them to ask
challenging questions
Develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture.
Develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from
other countries and cultures .
At the end of the two-year programme, students are assessed both
internally and externally in ways that measure individual performance
against stated objectives for each subject.
The grading system is criterion based (results are determined by
performance against set standards, not by each student's position in
the overall rank order); validity, reliability and fairness are the
watchwords of the Diploma Programme's assessment strateg.
DISADVANTAGE OF I .B COURSE ARE<
1) That they may leave students unprepared for upper-level college
courses, fail to develop understanding of concepts and key ideas, fail
to develop metacognitive skills, minimize student-centered activities,
and discourage students from taking rigorous nonI b-courses
2)Fees of the I.B schools are extremely high,students from higher
class can only afford to study.

ADVANTAGES OF I.B COURSE ARE

1)It's the whole approach of this system which is skill and
knowledge-based rather than rote learning
2)students tend to catch up fairly well even after switching over from
an ICSE, CBSE or SSC Board schoo
As a host of international schools springs up, IB education becomes
most conveted course in town.
