Shaping Future Leaders Through International Education

The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) at LIS provides a framework of academic challenge that encourages students aged 11 to 16 to embrace and understand the connections between traditional subjects and the real world, and become critical and reflective thinkers. The MYP emphasizes intellectual challenge, encouraging students to make connections between their studies in traditional subjects and the real world.

Students study eight subject groups: language and literature (English), language acquisition (French, Spanish, Hindi), individuals and societies (history, geography, economics), sciences (biology, chemistry, physics), mathematics, arts (visual arts, music, drama), physical and health education, and design (digital and product design). A unique feature of the MYP is the personal project in Grade 10, where students complete a significant piece of work over an extended period, demonstrating their understanding and skills.

Our MYP curriculum integrates concepts, global contexts, and approaches to learning (ATL) skills across all subjects. Service as action is a core component, with students engaging in community projects that develop civic responsibility. We offer differentiated instruction to meet diverse learning needs and provide academic counseling to support students' transition to the Diploma Programme or IGCSE.

Lancers International School offers the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) as an alternative pathway in Grades 9 and 10. The IGCSE is the world's most popular international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds, recognized by leading universities and employers worldwide. It develops learner knowledge, understanding and skills in subject content, intellectual inquiry, flexibility and responsiveness to change, cultural awareness, and communication.

Students typically take 7-9 IGCSE subjects including compulsory English, mathematics, and sciences, plus electives from categories including languages, humanities, creative and professional subjects. Our IGCSE offerings include First Language English, English as a Second Language, Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Environmental Management, History, Geography, Economics, Business Studies, Accounting, Art & Design, Music, Computer Science, Information and Communication Technology, French, Spanish, Hindi, and Physical Education.

Our IGCSE program emphasizes application of knowledge, problem-solving, and practical skills. Students undertake laboratory work in sciences, fieldwork in geography, and projects across subjects. The curriculum prepares students for the academic demands of pre-university programs while developing transferable skills like research, analysis, and independent thinking. External assessment by Cambridge International includes written, oral, coursework and practical examinations.

The IB Diploma Programme (DP) at Lancers International School is a rigorous two-year pre-university course for students aged 16 to 19 that leads to examinations and is widely recognized by the world's leading universities. The DP curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the DP core, comprising theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS), and the extended essay (EE).

Students choose six subjects: one from each of groups 1 to 5, and either one from group 6 or a second from groups 1-4. Group offerings include Studies in Language and Literature (English, Hindi), Language Acquisition (French, Spanish, Hindi ab initio), Individuals and Societies (History, Geography, Economics, Business Management, Psychology), Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Environmental Systems and Societies), Mathematics (Analysis and Approaches, Applications and Interpretation), and The Arts (Visual Arts, Music, Theatre). Most subjects are offered at both Higher Level (240 teaching hours) and Standard Level (150 hours).

Our DP students consistently achieve above world average scores, with a 2022 average score of 35 points (world average: 31.9). University placements include Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College London, University of Toronto, University of California, National University of Singapore, and top Indian universities. Our dedicated university counseling team provides personalized guidance through the application process. The DP at LIS develops students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge, flourishing physically, intellectually, emotionally, and ethically.
