In order to respond various challenges faced by millions of parents in the market, CBSE with its strong experience in handling the educational needs introduced CBSE International curriculum. The CBSE International is also known as CBSE-i, which is specially designed and formulated to match the benchmark of global curriculum. Seventy percent of the CBSE-i curriculum will consist of global, and rest will be localized. The aim of CBSE-i is to enhance and improve creative thinking, communication and analytic skills, and develop interpersonal skills. Apart from the main stream subjects like commerce and science, it also focuses on different intelligence including verbal intelligence, spatial intelligence, musical intelligence, intra-personal intelligence, sports intelligence, logical and mathematical intelligence and inter-personal intelligence. The most important part of the curriculum is the flexibility to experiment, research and discover offered to the students.
The examinations of CBSE-i schools are also aligned with the international standards, where the students are not loaded with semester based testing. Schools which follow the CBSE-i curriculum test the students regularly from different aspects including observations, analysis and interactions. The CBSE-i was first introduced in the CBSE schools in Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, United Arab Emirates, and several other Gulf countries for classes I and IX. By the end of 2012-2013, almost all classes including II, VI, X, VII, and XI have been introduced. The course has been full-fledged introduced in several Indian schools including Amrut Indian School in Ahmedabad. It is the first school in Gujarat which has implemented the CBSE-i standard and it is part of the famous Firdaus Amrut School (FAS). Students who are aspiring to study in abroad can start looking for admissions in the CBSE-i schools from the middle of academic life. Parents can also be relieved because there are more than 300 schools in India which has implemented the CBSE-i curriculum.
