The PYP Programme

The most significant curriculum aspect of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years’ Programme are the six Transdisciplinary Themes which frame the majority of learning:

How We Organise Ourselves
Who We Are
Where We Are In Time & Place
How The World Works
Sharing The Planet
How We Express Ourselves

PYP students engage with all of the six themes over the course of the year.
These themes have led us to develop a programme of inquiry, and
set of units of inquiry, in which the students investigate important ideas with a high level of involvement in inquiry.

Inquiry Learning

Inquiry is a vehicle for learning in the PYP and the basis of our curriculum. It builds on children’s natural curiosity and sense of wonder about the world. Through this approach, children engage in learning and activities that support them in actively exploring, asking questions, solving problems, applying theories and information, and drawing conclusions.
Through the process, children become researchers and do meaningful work that is significant to them.
