PYP (Ages 3-11)

 

The IB PYP

The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is aimed at students aged 3 to 11, Children’s House 1 through Grade 5, fostering their growth as caring and engaged lifelong learners. It provides an inquiry-driven, transdisciplinary curriculum that develops conceptual understanding. Informed by the latest educational research, the PYP has become a global leader in future-oriented education, responding to the challenges and opportunities of an evolving world.

The PYP Curriculum Framework

The learner

The PYP framework begins with the understanding that students are active, reflective participants in their own learning. They possess a natural ability to inquire, question, wonder, and synthesize about themselves, others, and the world around them.

 

Learning and Teaching

A focus on collaborative inquiry and integrative learning celebrates students' curiosity, agency, and engagement. Approaches to learning (ATL) and teaching (ATT) are crucial in exploring the six transdisciplinary themes, fostering an understanding of shared human experiences on local, national, and global levels.


The Learning Community

The PYP learning community brings teaching and learning practices to life, providing students with authentic, meaningful, relevant, engaging, and challenging educational experience.


Agency

Students are empowered with voice, choice, and ownership over their learning. With a strong sense of self-confidence, they bring agency into the broader school environment.

 

Authenticity in Learning Action

Action, rooted in authenticity, allows students to apply their learning in real-world contexts. Empowered by agency, students initiate individual and collective actions that are genuine, purposeful, and reflective of their personal growth. These actions connect learning to meaningful outcomes, supported by the collaborative efforts of the entire school community, fostering a deeper understanding and impact.
