Posted by Pathways World School on September 17th, 2021

It’s not only the school and the teaching methods employed by teachers that are important when you are choosing a school for your child. You should also know the curriculum taught in that school. Most of the private schools in India teach the curriculum prescribed by CBSE or CISCE. Over the years, International Baccalaureate (IB) has been adopted by many schools.

Now you will find many IB schools in Delhi. But the question is, how is IB different from other curriculums? How is it more beneficial than other curriculum taught in schools? Here are 4 reasons how an IB Diploma can benefit your child:

1.  Ease in College Admissions

One of the key reasons why many private schools have adopted the IB curriculum is that an IB diploma is recognised across the globe. Most of the universities around the world recognise it and your child need not write an exam or enrol in a course when they go abroad. If your child has aspirations to study in a top-class foreign university or you would like your child to study in one, an IB diploma is the way to go.

1.  Better Chances of Getting a Scholarship

IB curriculum is referred to as a global curriculum because having an IB diploma means a student can practically get into any university around the world. What this also means is that the diploma increases their chances of getting a scholarship. When a student need not write any extra exam or study something special to go to a university, they are more easily accepted in any university. This increases their chances of earning themselves a scholarship because they have an edge over other students.

1.  Strong Foundation of Knowledge

A school is a place where children learn how to learn. They are taught little bits of everything to help explore and develop interests in a subject that they can choose when they go to a university. Thus,it becomes important that the foundation of their knowledge is strong. IB curriculum includes more subjects than any other curriculum taught in India. As a result, a student with an IB diploma is more equipped for the world than other students because they have explored more in their school. As a result, they have knowledge of a wider range of subjects before they even enrol in a university.

1.  Become Independent Thinkers

The sign of good education is whether or not a student is an independent thinker. If your child is part of the herd, they will stay there, and never take a step for themselves for the risk of upsetting people. There will be a severe lack of self-confidence because they are not taught to be independent. And they are not taught to question and think. In an IB curriculum, students are repeatedly taught to question what they have learnt. Having questions in class means that students are learning. When they learn what they are being taught, instead of mugging it up only to clear exams, they become independent thinkers.

IB schools are slowly gaining popularity and more parents are opting for the curriculum for their children. This is why various best schools in Gurgaon are now IB schools. Now you know some of the benefits of how an IB diploma can be beneficial for your child.
