About CAIE IGCSE
International General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is an international education curriculum and qualification provided by the University of Cambridge. IGCSE is the pre-eminent standard of international education accepted around the world. The National Education Policy of 2020 is aimed at shifting all education in India towards the strategies, principles and pedagogy that exist within international education standards.
In other words, India as a whole has recognized and is adopting the educational system that has been in place and available through IGCSE for over twenty years.
The IGCSE qualification is delivered through international boards such as Cambridge International Education. Schools within India are recognized as international schools based on their approval and acceptance by one of these boards.
The Learning Curve International School is the only school in Mysore that is approved by Cambridge International Education.
