Sangam School of Excellence
(An IB World School)
The IB Programme is a comprehensive international curriculum with an
emphasis on critical thinking, intercultural understanding, citizenry and
extracurricular activities. Students are exposed to a broad range of
subjects, but study several subjects in great depth. The ultimate benefit of
this program is that IB graduates are literate, articulate, adaptable,
confident young adults with expertise in at least two languages and a global
understanding of issues.
In addition to just wanting to participate in this excellent program, many
students take the IB Diploma to improve their chances of university
admission. Graduates of the IB Diploma Programme consistently perform
well at university. Because of this, the IB Diploma graduates are
increasingly sought out by a growing number of universities in Canada, the
United States, and further abroad. At some universities, graduates with an
IB Diploma may receive preferred entrance status, scholarships and
possibly advanced credit or transfer credits for IB courses in which
sufficiently high results were achieved. Many Canadian universities have
entrance scholarships created specifically to attract IB Diploma graduates.
Benefits of taking an IB Diploma
1. Academic rigor. Students learn how to learn, analyze, and reach
thoughtful conclusions. Diploma candidates function at a level of an
introductory college student.
2. Comprehensiveness.
Students encounter rigor throughout all
disciplines. They refine areas of strength, and developmentally improve
areas of weakness.
3. Internationalism. The program encourages students to think globally
and the curriculum is based on international standards. Coursework and
exams are graded by an international grading team.

5. Consistent application of critical thinking skills to a wide range of
subject matter.
