An inquiry-led approach for young learners, built around transdisciplinary themes rather than separate subjects.

A two-year pre-university course with six subjects, an extended essay, Theory of Knowledge and CAS.

An IB continuum school offers more than one IB programme, so a child can progress through the IB framework in a single school — for example from the Primary Years Programme through the Middle Years Programme to the Diploma Programme.
Many schools in Delhi NCR offer only the Diploma Programme in the senior years, often after a national or other international curriculum. Neither route is automatically better; what matters is how well the school delivers the programmes it offers and how well that fits your child.
Ask each school which IB programmes it is currently authorised to offer, and from which grade each one begins.
A short, consistent checklist makes it easier to compare schools fairly.
A broad, practical comparison to help you decide where to look. Individual schools and neighbourhoods vary.
| Delhi | Gurgaon | Noida | |
|---|---|---|---|
| IB choice | Relatively limited number of schools | Wider range of IB options | Growing range of IB options |
| Setting | Established central and south Delhi neighbourhoods | Newer residential sectors and larger campuses | Planned sectors in Noida and Greater Noida |
| Commute | Depends heavily on neighbourhood and traffic | Often long, especially along major corridors at peak hours | Usually simpler within sectors, longer across the NCR |
| Best for | Families who prefer to stay within Delhi | Families wanting the most choice in one cluster | Families living on the eastern side of the NCR |
Test the commute at school hours before shortlisting. A school that looks ideal on paper can be the wrong fit if the daily journey is unrealistic.
