Academics at The Indian Public School, Chennai North

The IB Early Years Programme (Pre‑KG to KG2) is a play‑based, inquiry‑led curriculum that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. Through engaging transdisciplinary themes, children explore ideas, ask questions, and make meaningful connections with the world around them.

Learning unfolds in dynamic, thoughtfully designed environments where play, imagination, outdoor experiences, and hands‑on exploration build essential early skills. Teachers guide children as facilitators, encouraging them to wonder, discover, and express their thinking with confidence.

Aligned with 21st century learning values, the programme develops strong foundations in communication, collaboration, creativity, and emotional well‑being. Children learn to share ideas, work together, care for their surroundings, and grow as independent, confident young learners, setting the stage for future academic success and holistic development.

The Primary Years Programme (Grades 1–5) continues our commitment to purposeful, inquiry-driven learning. Through real-world, transdisciplinary themes, students explore ideas that connect across subjects, encouraging deep thinking, curiosity, and independence.

Learning unfolds through hands-on investigations, collaborative projects, field explorations, and reflective discussions, cultivating confident communicators and problem-solvers. Students build strong 21st century competencies as they research, question, analyse, and present with clarity and creativity.

A hallmark of PYP at The Indian Public School is student agency, empowering learners to make informed choices, set goals, and take ownership of their learning pathways. This nurturing yet challenging approach helps them grow as confident, empathetic, and internationally minded individuals prepared to navigate an ever-changing world.

The Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme(CLSP) & Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education(IGCSE) pathway (Grades 6 to 10) extends the inquiry-driven foundation of the PYP into early adolescence with greater depth, challenge, and academic rigour. Students engage in concept-based and project-based learning across a broad subject range, refining their ability to question, interpret, and apply ideas in meaningful contexts.

Learning experiences blend interdisciplinary exploration with hands-on investigations, debates, real-world case studies, and integrated STEAM tasks. Students further strengthen research skills, digital literacy, and global awareness while gaining exposure to advanced domains such as Robotics, Space Science, and Spark Labs.

Subjects offered: English, Tamil, Hindi or French (Second Language), Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Information & Communication Technology (ICT), Economics, Business Studies and Global Perspectives, and Physical Education.

With opportunities for early subject choices and guided pathways, learners develop clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of purpose, as they prepare for higher-level academic programmes and future university aspirations.

Our Cambridge AS & A Levels offer students the opportunity to specialise deeply in subjects of their choice, fostering academic mastery and independent thinking. Building on the analytical and conceptual strengths developed through IGCSE, learners engage with rigorous content, practical application, and advanced problem-solving. This pathway provides strong preparation for competitive university admissions and future academic pathways.
