The freedom to make important decisions and the knowledge to make them intelligibly. We believe that knowledge and wisdom gained through self-inquiry leaves a stronger imprint in one’s mind. Therefore, more than learning itself, we believe in the “spirit of learning”, sparked by curiosity and inquisitiveness is instrumental in becoming an engaged citizen of the world.
IB addresses the need for a holistic approach to education with a pedagogy that focuses on shaping internationally-minded individuals who are committed towards creating a peaceful world through inquiry, understanding and respect.
The IB programmes are tailored to bring out the best in every child and take into account the characteristics and preferences that are unique to the individual, while creating a learning environment that promotes collaboration and empathy. They cater to all age groups with programmes for the primary, middle and diploma years.
IB's Primary Year Programme (PYP) focuses on discovering the spark in budding minds during their formative years. It identifies their distinct facets and pivots the learning process around it to ensure that knowledge is assimilated in a manner they’re most comfortable with. PYP recognizes the brilliance of a mathematical theorem with the same fervor as it does the beauty of a sonnet or the passion of a football game. So, rest assured, not one child will feel the need to conform to a norm or bend to peer-pressure.

The process of shaping an idea at our IB School involves several key components, Our IB curriculum is designed to encourage students to think critically, question the status quo, and develop a deep understanding of the subjects they study. The curriculum offers a wide range of subjects, including traditional academic disciplines and areas of personal interest.
We create a nurturing environment where students are encouraged to take risks and embrace challenges. Our educators are not just teachers but mentors who guide and inspire students to push the boundaries of their thinking.
At our IB School in Cochin, we emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary learning. Students are encouraged to connect their ideas across different subjects and apply their knowledge to real-world issues. This approach not only broadens their horizons but also encourages them to develop innovative solutions to complex problems.
We offer a wide range of extracurricular activities that complement our academic curriculum. These activities, from sports to arts and culture, provide students with opportunities to explore their interests and passions outside the classroom.
Research and project-based learning are at the core of our approach to idea shaping. Students are encouraged to embark on independent research projects, where they can develop deep into their chosen topics, test hypotheses, and present their findings to a wider audience.
The IB framework places a strong emphasis on international-mindedness, which encourages students to understand and appreciate different cultures and perspectives. This global outlook helps students shape their ideas with a broader worldview.
The goal is to provide the best time of life for kids while they get to learn and fall in love with learning.
COCHIN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL is an acredited school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme.
