PYP Programme

The Heart of Learning: The Program of Inquiry

At the center of our curriculum is the Program of Inquiry (POI)—a dynamic matrix that maps out a student's journey from early childhood through their primary years.

The Six Transdisciplinary Themes

At the heart of the Primary Years Programme (PYP) are six themes that frame our students' journey. These aren't just subjects; they are the big ideas that help children make sense of their world.

Who We Are: Exploring the nature of self, personal beliefs, health, and human relationships.

Where We Are in Place and Time: Discovering our personal histories, local surroundings, and the global journeys of humankind.

How We Express Ourselves: Communicating ideas, feelings, and culture through creativity, language, and the arts.

How the World Works: Investigating the natural world, scientific principles, and the impact of technology on society.

How We Organize Ourselves: Understanding human-made systems, communities, and how we manage our societies.

Sharing the Planet: Taking action on peace, conflict, and our responsibility to share finite resources with all living things.
