The IB is a non-profit international educational organization established in 1968. It offers 3 programmes of international education that span the primary, middle and secondary school years: Primary Years Programme (PYP) – designed for students aged through 3 to 11, Middle Years Programme (MYP) – for students aged through 11 to 16 and Diploma Programme (DP) – for students aged through 16 to 18. While these programmes follow a logical sequence, each may be offered independently. In all 3 programmes, the IB offers schools with school authorization, curriculum material, assessment procedures, faculty-training workshops, programme evaluation and comprehensive support services in English, French and Spanish.
Students must be enrolled in an IB authorized school to participate in an IB programme. The IB programmes are the core of all curriculum at École Mondiale and students joining early are well prepared for the rigorous IB Diploma programme. Although entry to the IB Diploma is open to all students entering grade 11, the advice is given by the coordinator and teachers as to which course and subject combination is most suitable for each student.
Over 5,900 schools in more than 160 countries offer one or more IB programmes.

The IB MYP is recognized by the government as the equivalent to Std 10 in the national system and the IB Diploma is recognized as a pre-university qualification.
Recipients of the IB Diploma are highly thought of by universities around the world. It is considered a rigorous academic programme which prepares students well for university study because of the special programmes in the Diploma such as the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge, and the Creativity, Activity and Service programme.
The school has a nurse on site from 07.30 until 16.30 each day. We also have a doctor on call and hospitals that we have care arrangements with, in the case of an emergency.
While the core aspects of the programme are the same globally, there is some flexibility in the programmes implementation, allowing for a regional specialty. (e.g. students attending École Mondiale have the option of studying Hindi).
Families have the choice of buying lunch at school at the appropriate cafeteria or bringing from home.
The cafeterias are cashless and to ease the purchase of food students are issued a cafeteria card which they load money on. The balance on the card is sent by text message to the nominated phone number.
Many activities are available for both primary and secondary students each day both before and after school. With many special events happening in the building e.g. plays, Coffee House and Battlelaureate etc students are never short of activities to join.
The school runs a bus service that covers many areas of Mumbai.
Marathi is mandatory from grades 1-10 and is assessed. Starting in grade 4, students choose to pursue Hindi, French or Spanish as an additional language.
Students from grades 6 to 12 are expected to bring their own laptops to school each day where it will be used frequently. Not all work will be completed on the computer as some work written by hand will still be required. The use of google drive is increasingly common. Students in grades 3-5 are expected to bring their own iPad to school. The students in the lower grades have access to in-classroom iPads and computers and will also receive IT lessons each week.
