What the IB curriculum covers

The International Baccalaureate includes four programmes that form one continuum. Students build conceptual understanding, skills, and learner profile attributes that support success in higher education and life. Ages and emphases are set by the IB and remain consistent across countries.

Programme Ages Focus Typical features
PYP 3–12 Transdisciplinary inquiry Units of inquiry across subjects, student agency
MYP 11–16 Concept-based learning Eight subject groups, service as action
DP 16–19 Pre-university breadth and depth TOK, Extended Essay, CAS, HL and SL subjects
CP 16–19 Academic study plus career-related learning DP courses, core reflective project, industry focus

The DP core components and the HL and SL subject structures underpin readiness for university.

NatureNurture’s approach to the IB curriculum

NatureNurture partners with schools to implement the IB curriculum end-to-end. We align pedagogy, assessment, and school culture to IB standards, while embedding 21st Century Skills , maker learning, and values education into daily practice.

Concept-driven units emphasise disciplinary thinking, ATL skills, and purposeful service as action.

DP

Support for subject selection, core planning, and IA workflows. TOK across subjects, structured EE mentoring, and meaningful CAS portfolios.

CP

Blend DP courses with real career pathways and reflective projects that match local opportunities.

Assessment and recognition

Assessment combines teacher-led tasks with standardised moderation and exams. DP learners typically study three or four subjects at Higher Level with about 240 teaching hours each, and the remaining at Standard Level with about 150 hours. The core requires TOK, the Extended Essay, and CAS. Global university admissions teams recognise the IB for academic rigour and the skills it builds.
