Using the 2020 Programme Standards and Practices as the quality backbone so leadership, curriculum, and culture move in step. The outcome is vertical consistency that still respects your local context and timetable.

Philosophy, planning, teaching, and assessment join up from early years to graduation.

Shared language

Learner profile, inquiry, concepts, and community engagement are aligned across programmes.

No duplication, no gaps

Prevent restarts when students advance through year levels; ensure smooth conceptual spirals.

Fits Indian contexts

Vertical consistency that still respects timetable structures and local priorities.

What we do

Core components of IB Curriculum Integration

Vertical alignment across PYP, MYP and DP

Map the PYP programme of inquiry to MYP subject-group objectives and DP courses so concepts and skills spiral rather than restart. Protect collaborative planning time to co‑design conceptual threads and ATL progression each term.

PYP transdisciplinary themes feed forward to MYP interdisciplinary units.
DP internal assessments and extended essay routines are scaffolded early.
Systematic horizontal and vertical articulation as expected by IB.

Practical steps for Indian schools

Create a one‑page integration plan covering authorisation status, timetable, staffing, and resources. Align policies to the 2020 standards, set milestones for classroom practice, and run readiness checks with the IB resource library.

Choose platforms and partners that reduce teacher admin during transition.
Track termly impact via work moderation, teacher reflections, and family feedback.

Assessment, ATL and service that actually connect

Make Approaches to Teaching and Learning the common thread. Agree a whole‑school ATL progression, embed it in unit planners and success criteria, and connect PYP formative checks to MYP task‑specific clarifications and DP command terms.

Tie CAS and service learning to units rather than treating them as add‑ons.
Students see how thinking, research, communication, social, and self‑management skills carry across years.
