Confused between IB and CBSE for Grade 1 in Coimbatore

Hi everyone! We are looking for a school for our daughter for next year. I've been hearing a lot about IB PYP and recently saw Ruh Primary. I'm torn—CBSE feels safe and the path is clear, but IB seems more about creativity and exploration. Does anyone here have kids in an IB school in CBE? I'm worried about the transition to higher grades later if we go with IB now. Thoughts?

We actually visited the school last month and were blown away by the labs. Definitely worth a visit!

I've compared the first one and the second one, and for primary grades, [SCHOOL1] seems to have a more nurturing environment.

The results at the school speak for themselves, but what I like more is their focus on mental health.
