Being schooled in an elite institution as a consideration of your ‘fine pedigree’ is an old-school heritage. Having fine distinctions and a lot of finer lines among SSC, CBSE, ISCE, and IB schools, parents are getting more and more worried about finding out the right school to educate their child.
Founded in 1986, IB or International Baccalaureate is an organization that offers different types of educational programs for children:-
- For children between 3 to 12 years old, there is IB Primary Years Program.
- For students between 11 to 16 years old, there is IB Middle Years Program and the IB Diploma Program.
- For students between 15 to 19 years old, there is IB Career-related Program.
These programs are designed so as to develop critical thinking ability and build problem-solving skills among the students at a very young age. As of now, more than 5,300 schools around 158 countries have adopted the IB system of study with more than 1.4 million students enrolled in these programs.
