• What is IB Education?
The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a globally recognised education framework that fosters critical thinking, research skills, and global-mindedness. With a broad, balanced, conceptual, and connected curriculum, IB education equips students with international perspectives, multilingual proficiency, and interdisciplinary learning. Its inquiry-based approach emphasises independent learning, authentic research, ethical leadership and community engagement, preparing students for top universities worldwide.
The number of students opting for IB education in India has steadily risen. In 2024, 6,156 students took the IB Diploma Programme (DP) exams, while 2,456 students appeared for the Middle Years Programme (MYP) exams. This growth reflects an increasing recognition of IB education in India as a pathway to global opportunities.
• How does IB differ from other education boards?
IB stands out with its rigorous curriculum, focus on conceptual understanding, and emphasis on global citizenship. Unlike traditional boards, IB incorporates research-based learning, real-world applications, and project-based assessments.
Through components like Personal Project, Interdisciplinary Unit, Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity, and Service, students develop advanced analytical, research, and communication skills, making them strong candidates for Ivy League and top international universities.
Additionally, IB fosters strong time management skills, ensuring students can effectively balance academics, extracurricular activities, and personal growth. With its university-oriented approach, the IBDP is a comprehensive pre-university program, equipping students with the skills and mindset required for higher education success.
• What is the cost of IB Education?
IB education in India is typically expensive, with schools charging an average of ₹12 lakh per year. However, 10X International School Mysuru is making IB education accessible at just ₹3 lakh per year for Grade 9. This includes tuition fees, examination fees, and a STEAM Bag, ensuring that students receive a comprehensive and high-quality learning experience at a fraction of the cost.
This initiative is rooted in our commitment to social equity, ensuring that high-quality IB education is not just for the privileged but is accessible to a diverse group of students. The low fee structure is a visionary effort by the Malavalli brothers, who are dedicated to transforming education in Mysuru by making world-class learning available to all. Their mission is to bridge educational gaps and empower students with an internationally recognised curriculum without financial barriers.
• Are scholarships available?
Yes, 10X International School Mysuru offers merit-based scholarships. 10% of the student cohort will receive a 50% scholarship, reducing their tuition fees based on their performance in the entrance test. This initiative ensures that talented students, regardless of financial background, can experience world-class education.
