The IB Journey from Early Years to Diploma | OWIS India

At OWIS India, the IB Programmes empower students with inquiry, creativity, and global awareness shaping confident learners from early years to graduation.

1. The IB Programmes at OWIS Bangalore

At OWIS Bangalore, the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum is more than an academic
structure it’s a holistic educational journey that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and global
awareness from the very start. The IB empowers students to take charge of their learning, ask
deep questions, and connect classroom experiences to real-world contexts.

The IB teaching approach emphasizes inquiry, reflection, and action. Learners are encouraged
to explore, experiment, and express their understanding in meaningful ways. This develops
skills such as creativity, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving essential traits for
success in a rapidly evolving world.
OWIS offers a complete IB continuum through four distinct yet connected IB Programmes, each
designed to build upon the last and ensure continuity in learning and personal growth.

Early Years Programme (EYP)

The Early Years Programme introduces young learners to the joy of exploration through
play-based, inquiry-driven experiences. Children are guided to make discoveries, express
curiosity, and develop communication and social skills that form the foundation of lifelong
learning.
Primary Years Programme (PYP)

In the Primary Years Programme, students aged 5–12 engage in transdisciplinary learning that
connects multiple subjects under broad global themes. Inquiry-based projects encourage them
to think critically, ask questions, and draw connections between their classroom and the world
beyond.

Middle Years Programme (MYP)

The Middle Years Programme for students aged 11–16 provides a balance between academic
challenge and practical application. Learners strengthen analytical and research skills, explore
real-life issues, and develop independence through interdisciplinary learning and
community-based projects.
IB Diploma Programme (IB DP)

The IB Diploma Programme (ages 16–19) is an academically rigorous course preparing
students for university and global opportunities. Alongside chosen subjects, learners complete
the IB Core Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Extended Essay (EE), and Creativity, Activity, Service
(CAS) which cultivate intellectual depth, research ability, and personal development.
