Primary Years Program

The Primary Years Program (PYP) is for students aged 3-12. The PYP aims to provide a holistic education that nurtures the whole child – intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically – and prepares them for a rapidly changing world.

At the heart of the PYP is a student-centered approach, in which students are encouraged have voice, choice, and ownership over their learning. They are encouraged to ask questions, investigate, and take action in order to connect what they learn in the classroom to the world around them. Through transdisciplinary learning, students explore a range of subjects, including language, math, science, social studies, the arts, and personal and social education, and develop multiple skills that prepares them for the 21st century.

Assessment is ongoing and based on the learning instead of the task. Therefore, it is an assessment of learning, for learning, and as learning in which students can showcase their understanding and knowledge through projects, thinking routines, journals, exams, and more.
