The International
Baccalaureate (IB), an international education board was established in Geneva,
Switzerland in 1968. It offers students a standardized global education that
provides them with lifelong practical learning experiences through an international
curriculum. There are four IB programs, which are age-related: - The Diploma
Programme (DP) for students aged 16 to 19. - The Middle Years Programme (MYP)
for students aged 11 to 16. - The Primary Years Programme (PYP) for students
from 3 to 12 IBDP- Students can choose to do subjects at Higher Level, Standard
Level, or both. To qualify for the Diploma a student must pass at least three
subjects at Higher Level and a total of six from the optional subject list. A
candidate can receive between 1 and 7 points in each category. They can get up
to 3 points for Theory of Knowledge and Extended Essay- meaning a maximum score
of 45 points, which only a small number of candidates achieve. In addition,
students must complete a project on Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS). A
Diploma is awarded to those scoring 24 points or more. CAS does not contribute
to the overall score; however, it must be completed to gain the full Diploma.
MYP- Children are taught to become learners, thinkers, communicators,
risk-takers, knowledgeable, carers, open-minded, balanced, and reflective.
The curriculum will
generally be subdivided into: Language and literature, Language acquisition,
Individuals and societies, Sciences, Maths, Design, Arts, Physical and Health
Education. MYP students are generally marked in grades 1 (very poor) to 7 (excellent).
PYP- learning is focused around six global themes that encompass the knowledge
base for children in the 21st Century- who we are, where we are in place and
time, how we express ourselves, how the world works, how we organize ourselves,
sharing the planet. The subjects include- Arts, Language, Science, Social
studies, Mathematics, Personal, Social and Physical Education.
Edexeed Education employs
highly experienced and senior examiners to handle diverse subject offerings from
each subject group. The entire academic operations of IBDP classes are
monitored and spearheaded by its director Mr.John Mathew himself who is a
former IB Principal and IBDP Coordinator who worked for institutions such as
Christ College Bangalore. Our IB teachers possess all the necessary IB profile
attributes and subject knowledge to steer the students toward a point 6 to 7
level.
We also guide the students
in their Internal assessments and Extended Essays. Our classes are highly
personalized and budget-friendly to cater to the needs of each learner.
