Primary Years Programme (PYP)

IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) – Age 3-12

The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) is tailored for children aged 3 to 12 and aims to nurture and develop young students as caring, active participants in a lifelong journey of learning.

Employing an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary curriculum framework, the PYP fosters conceptual understanding and adopts a student-centred approach to education. Tailored for children aged 3-12, this curriculum integrates the finest educational research, thought leadership, and experience derived from IB World Schools.

Evolved as a global leader in forward-thinking education, the PYP exemplifies best educational practices worldwide, addressing the challenges and opportunities faced by young students in our rapidly changing world.

How Does PYP Nurture and Develop Your Child?

The PYP strongly focuses on cultivating the whole child as an inquirer, both within and beyond the school environment. It offers a transformative educational experience for students, teachers, and entire school communities, delivering excellent outcomes by providing engaging, relevant, challenging, and meaningful education. PYP learners actively engage in taking charge of their learning, collaborating with teachers to deepen their understanding, enhance self-motivation, and bolster confidence. Through actively participating in integrated ongoing assessments, they develop into effective, self-regulated learners who can respond constructively to feedback. Guided by six transdisciplinary themes of global significance, students broaden their learning horizons by developing conceptual understandings and honing their knowledge and skills across, between, and beyond subject areas.

The PYP Curriculum Framework

The PYP curriculum framework operates on the premise that students are active agents in their learning and integral partners in the learning process. It prioritizes people and relationships to build robust learning communities. PYP students demonstrate initiative, assuming responsibility and ownership of their learning. Through inquiry-based learning and self-reflection, PYP students acquire knowledge, conceptual understandings, skills, and the attributes of the IB Learner Profile, empowering them to effect positive change in their lives, communities, and beyond.

At the heart of the framework is the emphasis on agency, which underpins three core aspects of school life:

  • The learner
  • Learning and teaching
  • The learning community

Embedded in the framework is the acknowledgment of the significance of nurturing individuals’ self-efficacy. Students with a strong sense of self-efficacy actively engage in their learning and take action within their learning community.

The Six Subject Areas within the IB Primary Years Programme:

  • Language
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • Social Studies
  • Arts
  • Personal, Social, and Physical Education

The most distinctive feature of the IB Primary Years Programme is the incorporation of six transdisciplinary themes. These themes offer IB World Schools the opportunity to integrate local and global issues into the curriculum, enabling students to transcend the confines of subject-specific learning:

  • Who we are
  • Where we are in place and time
  • How we express ourselves
  • How the world works
  • How we organize ourselves
  • Sharing the planet
