Step by Step School — Noida, India
School type: International (IB World School) · IB Programmes: DP · Live coaching in IST (India)
Step by Step School is a co-educational day school on the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway in Sector 132 Noida, founded in the mid-1990s and now one of the longer-established schools in the Noida IB cluster. The school built its early reputation on a CBSE primary-and-secondary curriculum with strong academics and pastoral care; the IB Diploma Programme authorisation was added later as a senior-school international option alongside the school's continuing CBSE Class 11-12 track. This dual-track senior school produces a student body where IB and CBSE students share the same school culture and faculty network but follow distinct curricula in their final two years.
Step by Step's IB DP cohort has historically been one of the longer-running in the Noida IB cluster — meaningfully predating the newer entrants (Pathways Noida early-2010s, Shiv Nadar Noida 2012). Both IB Biology HL and SL are offered, with full the IB practical programme coverage. The Biology department is staffed by IB-experienced teachers, and the school's emphasis on careful pedagogy and student wellbeing produces an IB cohort culture that is academically serious without being burnout-driven.
For Step by Step IB Biology students, the most common driver of external tutoring is the parallel-curriculum context: because Step by Step runs IB alongside CBSE in senior school, the in-school IB-rubric peer benchmarking is thinner than at single-curriculum IB schools (Pathways Aravali, UWCSEA). Our 1:1 coaching replaces that with explicit weekly written feedback on Paper 2 long-response answers against the IB mark scheme. Several Step by Step IB Biology HL students each cohort also pursue our integrated IB+NEET track because the school's broader student body (with its strong CBSE cohort matriculating to Indian universities and AIIMS) creates a cultural context where keeping the India medical-college option open is naturally considered.
Step by Step's Sector 132 location places it on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway corridor — a different commute axis from the central-Noida schools (Pathways at Sector 100) and the eastern-Noida cluster (Shiv Nadar at Sector 168). The school operates a transport network reaching across Sectors 50, 62, 75, 93, 100, 128, 132 and Greater Noida. Many Step by Step IB families commute from across this broader belt, and our IST evening live sessions at 7–9 PM fit cleanly after the school day regardless of which Noida sector students live in. The online-delivery model removes any concern about cross-sector physical commute to a tutoring centre.
Sourced from publicly available rankings, the school's own annual diploma results communications, and the IB Organization's programme authorisations.
Step by Step IB graduates matriculate across a broader spread than the typical Noida IB school because the dual-curriculum senior school produces an IB cohort that self-selects for international applications. UK matriculations span Russell Group including Oxbridge, Imperial, UCL, KCL, Warwick, Edinburgh, and Bristol. US destinations include Ivy+, NYU, top liberal arts (Williams, Amherst, Brown), Berkeley, and public flagships. Canadian institutions — Toronto, UBC, McGill, Queen Mary — are common. For Biology HL students specifically, UK medicine and US pre-med are the most frequent abroad tracks; the IB+NEET dual-track subset within the IB cohort additionally targets AIIMS and state medical colleges via NEET. The older alumni network at Step by Step strengthens applications to Indian universities (Ashoka, Krea, Shiv Nadar University) where alumni-mentoring helps.
Step by Step's IB DP follows the standard two-year cycle. IST timezone aligns directly with our India-based live tutoring schedule. Our 1:1 sessions schedule in IST evenings (7–9 PM is most common, fitting after the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway school commute) or weekend morning blocks. For IB+NEET students, we run an integrated weekly schedule covering IB Biology + NEET Biology + NEET Chemistry + NEET Physics. The school's careful-pedagogy culture means many Step by Step IB students arrive at DP1 with strong study habits and pastoral support already in place; our coaching adds the IB-specific rubric layer that the parallel-curriculum context structurally leaves thinner.

Same faculty · same school context
Cerebrum Biology Academy is biology-only across NEET, Biology Olympiads (NSEB / INBO / IBO + USABO / BBO), IB Biology, AP Biology, and board Biology (CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE, A-Level). The Step by Step context stays attached when you switch from IB to NEET or Olympiad enquiries — your counsellor knows where your child studies.
IB + NEET integrated weekly schedule — preserve both abroad (UK med, US pre-med) and India (AIIMS, state medical) options through Class 12.
NSEB → INBO → OCSC → IBO India team pipeline. We coach the full funnel — IB HL students often have a meaningful Olympiad advantage from their practical-investigation experience built across the IB themes.
Beyond IB: CBSE / ICSE / IGCSE / A-Level / AP Biology, exam-only crash courses, year-round Biology support. Useful for Step by Step families with siblings on different curricula or students adding AP Bio alongside IB.
Founded by Dr. Shekhar C Singh (AIIMS New Delhi alumnus) · 680+ medical college selections · 98% NEET qualification rate · Biology-only since 2014
