Curricular Structure
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is a transdisciplinary, inquiry-based, student-centered education that emphasizes responsible action and allows kids to study across traditional academic boundaries.
PYP students utilize initiative to take charge of and ownership of their education. PYP students gain information, conceptual understandings, abilities, and the qualities of the IB Learner profile through learning through inquiry and reflecting on their own learning. This allows them to make a difference in their own lives, communities, and beyond.
The framework emphasizes the central principle of agency, which underpins the three pillars of school life:
- the learner
- learning and teaching
- the learning community.
