Through this model of trans-disciplinary learning, students engage with a range of subjects: Languages (English and Hindi), mathematics, Science and Social Studies, Arts (Music, Dance and Visual Arts) and Personal, Social and Physical Education. Information and Communication Technology is integral to all teaching and learning processes and thus focuses on skills and promotes responsible use of technology and information. The learning across the subjects is facilitated through the ‘Inquiry Pedagogy’, for students to actively construct meaning of the world around them, and for purposeful learning. Inquiry allows each student’s understanding of the world to develop in a manner and at a rate unique to that learner.
The IB learner Profile is integral to the curriculum and is the embodiment of IB’s philosophy of international education. It describes the attributes and outcomes of education for international-mindedness.
