The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is an inquiry-based, student-centered educational framework developed by the International Baccalaureate (IB) for young learners aged 3 to 12. PYP focuses on developing students as active learners through inquiry, concept-based learning, and real-world connections. It emphasizes the development of critical thinking, communication, and social skills by guiding students to ask questions, explore, and engage in meaningful learning experiences. The PYP nurtures the whole child, encouraging intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth.
In the PYP, we recognize that each student has unique strengths, interests, and areas for growth. Our approach is to differentiate instruction to meet diverse learning needs. We use various strategies, such as small group instruction, individualized learning plans, and flexible grouping, to support each child at their level. Teachers design activities that cater to different learning styles, ensuring that all students are engaged and challenged. Additionally, we work closely with parents and specialists to support students who may need extra help or extension in specific areas, creating a personalized and inclusive learning environment.
Assessment in the PYP is varied and ongoing, designed to provide a holistic view of each student's progress. Instead of traditional exams, we use form of ongoing assessments like observations, student reflections, and project-based tasks that happen during the learning process. Baseline assessments are conducted at the end of term to evaluate what students have learned. Teachers focus on understanding each child’s progress over time and give constructive feedback, encouraging self-reflection. Parents receive regular updates through portfolios, reports, parent-teacher meetings, and academic fest where we discuss both academic and personal development.
The PYP emphasizes the development of the IB Learner Profile, which includes attributes like being a communicator, a thinker, an inquirer, and a risk-taker. These attributes foster skills essential for lifelong learning, such as collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Through inquiry-based units, students engage in real-world scenarios, fostering their ability to research, reflect, and communicate effectively. Our approach encourages students to take ownership of their learning, helping them to become self-motivated and resilient individuals who are prepared for the future.
Parents play an important role in supporting and extending their child’s learning in the PYP. We encourage open communication between parents, teachers, and students to create a supportive learning environment. At home, you can help by showing interest in your child’s inquiries and projects, asking questions about what they’re learning, and discussing real-world connections. We also invite parents to participate in school events, attend workshops, and volunteer in classrooms, which helps strengthen the school-home partnership. Through this collaboration, we create a unified support system for students.
The PYP curriculum promotes international-mindedness by encouraging students to understand and appreciate different cultures, perspectives, and languages. We explore global issues and diverse cultural experiences through our units of inquiry, where students learn to respect differences and make connections across cultures. We also celebrate various international days and encourage students to explore how they can contribute positively to their local and global communities. This approach helps students develop an open-minded outlook and a sense of responsibility as global citizens.

Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where each child feels supported and valued.
