The Primary Years Programme (PYP) provides an educational framework based upon what is currently known about how young children learn. It draws on the best practices in elementary school instruction.
The PYP requires all teacher teams in the school to plan units of instruction and lessons collaboratively around six themes. The collaboration among teams facilitates a carefully thought out and sequential development of skills, knowledge and attitudes, while the organizing themes provide both students and teachers a rich and inviting learning community in which they can explore and investigate. The six organizing themes are: Who we are, Where we are in time and place, How we express ourselves, How the world works, How we organize ourselves, and How we share the planet.
In the PYP, students are taught to understand that learning is about asking questions and looking for answers, which in turn may generate new and possibly more complex questions. Teachers will work with students as a facilitator to guide their inquiry. In the PYP, character building shares a prominent place alongside learning and is emphasized throughout the program.
