Walk through the MYP corridor at HUS in Chennai on a Wednesday afternoon, and you will notice something. One group is planning a research project and dividing tasks without being told to.

The IB is the organisation behind four programmes: the Early Years (EYP), Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP), and the Diploma stage for Grades 11-12. The Diploma course is simply the short form students, parents and schools use for this final, university-facing stage. 

At Hiranandani Upscale School (HUS), every school day begins with curiosity and ends with reflection. Instead of simply memorising lessons, students explore ideas, ask questions, collaborate with their peers, and connect learning to the world around them.

Applying to a US university with an IB Diploma is straightforward in theory. Most admissions teams ask for your GPA on the 4.0 scale.

Smart students are everywhere. Caring students are rarer, and far more valuable. Caring sits in the middle of the ten attributes of the IB Learner Profile because the IB believes school should produce people who notice others, not just people who out-perform them.
