What are the school timings ?
IB is the acronym for "International Baccalaureate".
CBSE & ICSE syllabus is approached in a theoretical manner and true emphasis is not laid on real life concepts behind the science. In IB more focus is laid on practical application of concepts in the form of regular projects and making connections between the concept and day to day examples.
How are the subjects taught in PYP?
Six Transdisciplinary themes provide the framework for exploration and construction of knowledge. Teachers and students are guided by these Transdisciplinary themes—as they design units of inquiry for exploration and study. Through this process, students develop an understanding of important concepts, acquire essential skills and knowledge, develop particular attitudes and learn to take socially responsible action.
Successful IB Diploma students may be offered credit (particularly for Higher Level courses and TOK) for first year university courses in Canadian and American Universities overseas.

The test generates detailed reports for students indicative of their progress and topics that require attention and improvement. The teachers receive a special report which indicates the class performance as compared to the other divisions as well as other schools on a national level.
