About
PYP

Inquiry-Led Learning that fosters Imaginative and Creative Thinking

This program believes that each child has their own
interest areas, personality, learning style and
combination of intelligence types.

Being a student in the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) means that each child is given an opportunity to explore his/her interest areas through a balanced curriculum. Students develop international-mindedness and global citizenship through the incorporation of local and global issues into the curriculum by focusing on the six globally significant IB transdisciplinary themes.

In the primary years, the learning and teaching prioritises student agency, wherein the voice, choice, and ownership of the learners are regarded as paramount. We nurture our students’ belief in agency– which is closely related to self-efficacy, a belief in one’s own ability to succeed; and give them all the necessary knowledge and skills (and nurture the right mindset) that they will need to succeed in their next phase–Middle School.

The Primary Years Programme (PYP):

Preparing students to be active participants in a lifelong journey of learning

The PYP is designed for students aged 3 to 12. It focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. It is a framework guided by six transdisciplinary themes of global significance, explored using knowledge and skills derived from six subject areas, as well as transdisciplinary skills, with a powerful emphasis on inquiry.
