· Bengaluru2d agoMy son is in his second year of MYP. It’s great for critical thinking, but do keep in mind that moving back to a state board or CBSE later can be a bit of a shock transition-wise. Are you planning for him to go abroad for undergrad?

· Bengaluru2d agoWe moved our daughter to an MYP school last year, and honestly, the shift is huge. The focus on inquiry and projects is much better than the rote learning in CBSE, but be prepared for a lot of late nights. The workload is intense, but she is actually enjoying the research aspect now.
