The decision to choose an international curriculum can be a life-changing one, for both your child and you. With a whole slew of changes and adjustments in store for your child, there are some changes you can definitely expect when switching from a national curriculum to an international one:
1. A focus on international mindedness
International Mindedness, simply put, is not just a global outlook, but the ability to understand that people with perspectives and contexts very diverse from ours’ can also be right in their own ways. When studying an international curriculum, your child becomes more open-minded and tolerant, given the diversity of perspectives and learning contexts he or she gets to explore.
2. Global exposure and platforms
Schools offering international curricula are often part of wider networks of schools and associations. Right from Model United Nations Conferences, to seminars and competitions for students of varying skill-sets, international schools take participation and representation to the global level. Student experiences and student life in general, is not restricted to the local community alone.

3. Membership of a global community of learners
Students who study an international curriculum experience the benefit of being part of a wider, global community of learners, who diverse in their culture, linguistic and ideological backgrounds. For example, as an IB World School, our students participate in global challenges like #generationIB and #IB50 celebrations that encourage collaboration and interaction between learners from different parts of the globe.

4. The transdisciplinary approach to learning
International curriculum like the International Baccalaureate and the Cambridge Assessments International Education, offer an integrated transdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that often leads to disciplinary specialization by the end of the schooling years. This means that students of an international curriculum gain both breadth and depth of understanding over the years.
