programmes, schools must be authorized. Every school authorized to offer IB
programmes is known as an IB World School.
IB Primary Years Programme (PYP)

and develops young students as caring, active participants in a lifelong
journey of learning. The PYP offers an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary
curriculum framework that builds conceptual understanding.The PYP curriculum
framework begins with the premise that students are agents of their own
learning and partners in the learning process. It prioritizes people and their
relationships to build a strong learning community.
IB Middle Years Programme (MYP)
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP)
emphasizes intellectual challenge. It encourages students aged 11 to 16 to
make practical connections between their studies and the real world, preparing
them for success in further study and in life. The programme empowers students
to inquire into a wide range of issues and ideas of significance locally,
nationally and globally. The result is young people who are creative, critical
and reflective thinkers.
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, is a two-year course
now offered in Nepal by various IB schools for students who have finished the
10th grade and are searching for higher education alternatives following SEEs.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, a viable alternative to A
Level, +2 and CBSE, has been available at several IB schools since 2009.
The IB diploma has been designed for students who want to excel in
their chosen fields and are looking for a course structure and design that is
significantly different from programs such as the GCE Cambridge A Level or +2.
While the degree is certainly more expensive than other high-school diplomas
available in the country, its worldwide credibility and all-inclusive
curriculum make it worthwhile for most. Through intercultural understanding
and respect, the International Baccalaureate seeks to educate enquiring,
intelligent, and compassionate young people who will contribute to the
creation of a better and more peaceful world. The IB diploma curriculum
contains six subject groups and three core components. Students select six
subjects to study from the subject groups. Normally three subjects are studied
at a higher level (240 teaching hours per subject), and three are studied at
the standard level (150 teaching hours per subject).
