The PYP curriculum searches for a balance among conceptual understanding, acquisition of knowledge, development of skills, the modeling of positive attitudes and the decision to act responsibly. Therefore, it emphasizes in five essential elements: concepts, knowledge, skills, attitudes and action.
At the heart of the programme’s philosophy there is a commitment to structured, purposeful inquiry as the leading vehicle for learning.
Six transdisciplinary themes of global significance provide the framework for exploration and study:
Who we are
Where we are in place and time
How we express ourselves
How the world works
How we organise ourselves
Sharing the planet
Teachers are guided by these six transdisciplinary themes as they design units of inquiry that both transcend and articulate conventional subject boundaries.
