WHATISTHEIB PROGRAMME?

The IB programme offered by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) refers to the various educational programs designed for students of different age groups. The IBO is a nonprofit educational foundation based in Switzerland that aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young individuals who help create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

The main IB programmes offered by the IBO are as follows:

PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAMME (PYP)

The PYP is designed for students aged 3 to 12 and focuses on developing the whole child. It promotes inquiry-based learning, encouraging students to explore and understand their world. The PYP emphasizes transdisciplinary learning and the development of essential skills and attitudes.

MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAMME (MYP)

The MYP is for students aged 11 to 16 and provides a framework that integrates academic study with personal development. It emphasizes interdisciplinary learning, approaches to learning (ATL) skills, and the cultivation of global-mindedness.

DIPLOMA PROGRAMME (DP)

The Diploma Programme is the most well-known and rigorous IB programme, designed for students aged 16 to 19. It offers a comprehensive and challenging curriculum that leads to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma The DP includes a broad range of subjects, the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) course, an Extended Essay (EE), and the Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) component.

CAREER-RELATED PROGRAMME (CP)

The Career-related Programme is intended for students aged 16 to 19 who wish to combine academic study with career-related learning. It provides a pathway for students to focus on their career interests while gaining an IB education

YOUNG SCHOLARZ APPROACH

We follow the IB PYP and MYP teaching approach, building a solid foundation for students to excel in Grade 10 exams. We offer personalized 1:1 classes with access to IB past papers and examiner's reports to meet individual needs effectively.

GROUP AND 1:1 SESSIONS

For all subjects, we offer targeted support for both HL and SL students, focusing on core topics and problem-solving techniques Our sessions are available in both group and 1:1 formats. Additionally, weekly English sessions cover all essential modules to ensure students are fully prepared for exams. In the months leading up to the main exams, we conduct intensive exam-prep sessions where students take mock exams and practice various question types.

PERSONALISED FEEDBACK

Each student that comes to us receives nuanced feedback, closely aligned with markschemes, on all their classwork and homework. A progress report is maintained with comprehensive notes enabling parents to keep abreast of their child’s academic progress.

BOUNCE

Conceptualised by Sunita Sharma, CEO of Young Scholarz

The ‘secret sauce’ for our students’ high grades in all the subjects‘BOUNCE’, a proprietary, 6-step approach to student success.

Message from our CEO - “Over the past 16+ years of building, coaching and mentoring at Young Scholarz, I’ve formulated an innovative teaching methodology that has positively impacted thousands of students. All the programs we deliver, online and in-person, inculcate our 6-step methods, helping students consistently produce excellent results.

Two core beliefs drive my passion for education: That the future can be shaped in whichever way we choose to imagine it, and 1. When coupled with the right encouragement, a sound educational foundation can allow everyone to achieve their goals.”

BRAINSTORMING

This is a powerful tool that used in lessons to help generate ideas and build on developing higher-order thinking skills Sunita encourages children to think out of the box and share their ideas no matter how “Far out there” they may seem

ORGANIZING

With all the learning at hand, things can get a little messy It is important to organize your thoughts - create simple but clear goals and develop rational arguments for the tasks at hand

UNDERSTANDING

Sunita has always encouraged her students to build mind maps to understand and retain information Understanding a concept is a process in which the student creates a personal representation of the content taught to which they can link their previous knowledge to

3 4 5

NUANCING

One crucial step at Young Scholarz is providing detailed feedback to every student Each session is followed by a thoroughly marked assignment, returned before the next class, helping students understand their errors and improve

CONSOLIDATING

Sunita ensures students review new materials and reinforce learning at the end of every lesson, topic, and mock paper She conducts 1:1 classes before mocks and exams to consolidate learning and discusses mock results to chart a way forward for each learner
