What is IBO?

The International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) is a non-profit educational foundation headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, offering four rigorous programmes for students aged 3 to 19: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP), and Career-related Programme (CP). In India, the IBO is adopted by a growing number of premium international and private schools, especially in metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. The curriculum is globally recognised for its emphasis on critical thinking, inquiry-based learning, and holistic development. The Diploma Programme is particularly popular among Indian students aspiring to study abroad, as it is accepted by universities worldwide. In India, the IBO is regulated by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) for equivalence to Class 12 boards. The organisation also provides teacher training and school authorization. Its role in India is expanding as parents seek alternatives to traditional board exams. For competitive exams like CUET or SAT, IB students often have an advantage due to the curriculum's depth. The IBO promotes international-mindedness and interdisciplinary learning, and India now has one of the fastest-growing networks of IB schools globally.
