- Is IB a good choice for my child in Bengaluru?

The IB Diploma Programme (DP) is accepted by universities in 160+ countries. However, schools vary significantly in how well they deliver the IB philosophy — the school matters more than the board. Use EduTribe to compare parent reviews, school fit signals, and fee data before shortlisting.
- How do I get admission in a IB school in Bengaluru?
- Most IB schools in Bengaluru open registration forms between October and December for the following academic year. Submit forms early at shortlisted schools, attend open days, and prepare documents: birth certificate, previous report cards, address proof, and passport photos.

- PYP (Primary Years Programme) is for ages 3–12 and focuses on inquiry-based learning. MYP (Middle Years Programme) covers ages 11–16 with interdisciplinary learning. DP (Diploma Programme) is the globally recognised IB qualification for ages 16–19, accepted by universities in 160+ countries. CP (Career-related Programme) is an applied alternative for ages 16–19 that blends IB courses with career-related study. Not all IB schools offer all four programmes — check the individual school profile before shortlisting.
- Which IB schools in Bengaluru offer the full IB continuum (PYP to DP)?
- A full IB continuum school offers PYP, MYP, and DP so your child can remain in the same school from early years through to the IB Diploma. This provides continuity of pedagogy and avoids transitions between schools at age 11 or 16. EduTribe lists each school's offered programmes on the school profile. Filter for continuum schools using the board and grades filters on the search page.
