IB Founding School Programme 2026-27: Eight founding schools. One term. Full platform, free.
8 schools. One term. The complete AI-native teaching, assessment and practice platform for IB. Free, founder-supported, and shaped by your teachers.
Koncepts is building the first school operating system native to the IB's rubrics and criteria. Headquartered in the US, with an extended team in Bangalore.
Eight Indian IB schools, one founding cohort.
We are selecting 8 Indian IB schools for the founding cohort, joining Founding Schools cohorts already running across the US, Middle East and Europe. Founding schools receive the full platform free for one term, dedicated product walkthroughs over call, in-school demos for staff, a dedicated school success manager with priority support, and a direct line to the founders.
Built for the IB, from day one.
Native to IB.
Built around IB rubrics and criteria from day one: PYP, MYP and DP. Not a generic tool re-skinned for IB.
Dedicated apps for each programme.
Teacher and student apps for each programme. The PYP classroom and the DP exam hall are different worlds; the product respects that.
The full cycle in one login.
Unit planning, lesson and resource generation, visually rich assessments, AI grading with evidence-linked feedback, adaptive student practice that closes the loop.
Replaces the juggling act.
The planner, the assessment tool, the practice app and the content tools, unified on one data spine. When the platform that grades the assessment also sets tonight's practice, learning compounds.
AI Class Tutor, on your syllabus.
Supports students beyond school hours, but only within the content boundaries each teacher sets, keeping help on-syllabus and aligned with your curriculum.
High-stakes assessment, under school control.
Lockdown-mode assessment tooling for secure, high-stakes testing, governed end to end by the school.
Why schools are joining now.
5,400+ IB teachers and 200k+ students across 840+ schools use Koncepts, in 78 countries. 120,000+ plans, assessments and feedback generated.
6 schools, including Oakridge International School, Bangalore, have already signed up for the India cohort. The US, Middle East and Europe cohorts launched earlier this year.
What your teachers will say.
“Koncepts is the most cohesive platform I've taught with. Planning, lesson content, visually rich assessments and insights all live in one place. I've stopped juggling Century Tech and AssessPrep; the whole cycle, from unit plan to feedback, finally sits under one roof.”
“Building slide decks and video lessons here is effortless, and it actually looks the part. No more bouncing between Canva, Gamma, ChatGPT and Perplexity. The content comes out already aligned to my planner, curriculum and rubric.”
“Following up on weak areas was always the task that stayed a TODO for me and rarely got done. Koncepts' intelligent learning loops close that gap automatically, sending each student their own follow-up assessment with complete transparency, and the final call always left to me. A few weeks in, I could actually see students climbing out of the areas they'd been struggling with.”
