What After Grade 10? CBSE / ICSE / SSC or IB

Batch of 2019, has celebrated their Farewell parties and is celebrating their academic milestone with completing Grade 10 and the end of schooling years for many. In India, generally post Grade 10 students join the Junior College and many also continue with Grade 11 and 12 as a part of the Higher Secondary school at their current institutions. What happens after Grade 10 is a big decision for many parents and students, irrelevant of the curriculum the students have completed their Grade 10 with. The

 Let's see the two key aspects in a general scenario:  

It is no longer necessary to continue studying in the same curriculum post Grade 10. Many students like to join a Junior College post Grade 10 either by choice or they have to join other institutions because their school has facilities only up to Grade 10. Those colleges that do have a Junior College, offer limited seats if they are a continuation of a Secondary School. They must accommodate their own students, first who have cleared Grade 10 and then offer the remaining seats which is pretty tedious to get with the online automated allotment of available seats in Junior Colleges. It surely doesn’t make sense to struggle and work so hard in CBSE up to Grade 10 and then complete Grade 12 through the SSC board. Many students struggle to get into the rat race for admission in the science stream, find themselves studying Commerce no sooner than they joined or may be a year later.

In Maharashtra, students have the option to complete their Grade 12 through SSC in most of the Junior Colleges, limiting the subject options within any one stream from Humanities / Arts, Commerce or Science. Grade 11 is still very early for the students to decide on the subjects they could like to pursue their career in. As we all know that Grade 12 scores somewhere define the future career options and admission to the tertiary level educational institutions, colleges / universities in India or overseas.

Is it necessary to pass Grade 10 only through CBSE / SSC / ICSE curricula?

No! Students can always study subjects of their choice at the level they are comfortable and pass their Grade 10 without the competition of 99 / 100 percent. Their grades and certificates are recognized by the best of national and international schools and colleges where they can continue to study IB Diploma Program at the best boarding schools in Maharashtra, like the Cathedral Vidya School. Here we offer the IB Diploma Program along with the facility to prepare and appear for IELTS and SAT exams the most widely recognised Language and aptitude test for university admissions.

While students are studying subjects of their choice, there are also enjoying a well-balanced and healthy lifestyle at the international residential school Lonavala. The pressures our teens face we have them here as well, but it disappears somewhere between sports and co-curricular activities, inter house competitions and CAS trips. The 24 hours student centric routine at the best boarding school in Mumbai gives students the opportunity to prepare for their ambitious dreams, of pursuing their next academic course in the best of universities or colleges in India or overseas.

IGCSE an IB Diploma Program helps both parents and students to avoid that unnecessary pressure of tedious tuitions and preparatory classes, and the worries involved in getting into the a Junior College within the stipulated time. If the Grade 10 or 12 scores aren’t up to the mark, students also stand the opportunity to re write their exam papers with adequate preparation, while they continue to join their next college course with a provisional admission. These are crucial years not only in terms of academic foundation but also social skills and life skills. At this stage students are old enough to join a residential school, leaving behind the comforts of their home and family for a while to develop life skills and time management skills under the superior pastoral care at co-ed boarding schools in Pune. Students enjoy the learning process in brotherhood / sisterhood with many students who come from different backgrounds, they make new families with people they call teachers and friends; they outgrow weird qualms and fears together with the support of the counsellors, teachers and their friends. It’s much easier to learn to stand up for themselves, learn to even fight back and speak up when required in the safe and supervised environment at a residential school. It gives the students the time to sit back and recognize themselves, their own potentials, overcome fears and enhance their personalities. Simple things that parents of teenagers struggle with at home can be learnt and

To understand more about the benefits of IGCSE and IBDP, you may contact the school Admission Office or visit the campus with a telephonic intimation. Even if your children haven’t met the cut off marks making them ineligible for admission in the Junior colleges or other institutions; your children can always continue to study the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program at good boarding schools in Pune.  

The least you can do to avoid the thought of limiting your child’s abilities, morale and self-confidence to just their academic scores in CBSE, ICSE or SSC. The young students have a candle lit at the end of the tunnel. Explore the modern face and experience of academic excellence defined by competing with yourself rather than the rigid minimum cut – off percentage required admission in some institution which may or may not be your child’s cup of tea. Let’s give them an opportunity to explore themselves and be the best version of themselves.

Sports At School

School, where students not only learn but it also offers students opportunities to interact with each other through sports. Sports can be enjoyed through exciting games, playground activities and board games which make students active. It’s always fun to play games or pursue some kind of sport.

Somehow, this fun is taken back seat in the lives of the current generation. Nowadays, kids are inclined towards video games, mobile phones, and cable and satellite networks with hundreds of channels to browse. They want to stay indoors and enjoy screen time more than play games outside. As per the experts, the youth need to go out, play some games, and have some activities outside the comfort of their homes.

Visual Arts Worksop at IBDP Schools near Mumbai

Visual Arts in IBDP: One of the favourite subjects students love to study and express themselves in as IBDP coherts.  The visual arts are an essential part of daily life. It can be seen in all parts of humanity and human nature, going beyond all levels of creativity, expressions, communication and comprehension. Visual language of communication is not confined to communities, societies, and cultures. They may have sociopolitical impact as well as ritual, spiritual, decorative and functional value; they can be persuasive and subversive in some instances, enlightening and uplifting in others.

We celebrate the visual arts not only in the way we create images and objects, but also in the way we appreciate, enjoy, respect and respond to the practices of art-making by others from around the world. Theories and practices in visual arts are dynamic and ever-changing, and connect many areas of knowledge and human experience through individual and collaborative exploration, creative production and critical interpretation.

The IB Diploma Programme visual arts course encourages students to challenge their own creative and cultural expectations and boundaries. It is a thought-provoking course in which students develop analytical skills in problem-solving and divergent thinking, while working towards technical proficiency and confidence as art-makers. In addition to exploring and comparing visual arts from different perspectives and in different contexts, students are expected to engage in, experiment with and critically reflect upon a wide range of contemporary practices and media. The course is designed for students who want to go on to study visual arts in higher education as well as for those who are seeking lifelong enrichment through visual arts.

Supporting the International Baccalaureate mission statement and learner profile, the course encourages students to actively explore the visual arts within and across a variety of local, regional, national, international and intercultural contexts. Through inquiry, investigation, reflection and creative application, visual arts students develop an appreciation for the expressive and aesthetic diversity in the world around them, becoming critically informed makers and consumers of visual culture.

Our Champions in Visual Arts

Our Students displayed their art work at an exhibition held at IBDP Schools near Mumbai, which was attended by their parents, teachers and friends.

Prahan Pacher from the IBDP Class of 2018presented a variety of expressions in his art work reflecting HUMAN NATURE in the exhibition titled: “A world war one gas mask with a grin” It represented the two sides of human nature – The helpful and the sadistic. The gas mask was an inspiration from the gas masks which were distributed during the world war to protect the people from gas bombs which could be dropped during air raids.People feared chemical weapons which were used in World War Two. He used clay, papier mache, and acrylic paint to create this gas mask.

Hoejung Jung from the IBDP Class of 2018 presented her paintings reflecting her personal experiences with stereo type judgements in the exhibition titled COMPLEX & STEREO TYPE.

Through these paintings she has tried to raise an awareness about stigmatic issues and emotions, expressing how a young girl feels when she is teased or criticized and made fun of for reasons beyond her control.She enjoyed this entire process from the conception of the thought and selecting the topic to the presentation at the exhibition. She expressed her gratitude to her friends especially those who helped her through-out the process, by sharing their experiences and just talking about it helped align the content and express those emotions through her paintings. The inspiration and steady assistance from Nupur, Sanchi & Ashwath made them her pillars of strength.

Hoejung Jung presented 11 works of art out of which “Pimple-egg” is her most iconic presentation.

“Based on my personal experience with pimples, I was teased by my class mates [In my previous institution] because my face was full of pimples. I suffered from appearance complex, overcoming that was a long process over the years; beingteased / teasing others is not a very nice thing to do.  We need a more empathetic and supportive environment especially at best IB board schools Mumbai among peers with such advanced emotional awareness available these days.”
