IB Primary Years Programme (PYP)
The Primary School offers the Primary Years Programme (PYP) of the International Baccalaureate from Nursery to Grade 5. It also offers a Pre-Primary Programme in the Pre-Nursery, which is for 2.6 to 3.6 year olds.
The PYP aims to develop the whole child. All experiences and learning in School focus on intellectual, social, physical and emotional growth of the student. The Curriculum offered is thus engaging, relevant, significant and challenging for students to be active participants in their learning journey. The students are equipped with necessary skills and dispositions to make connections with the world outside, and to apply their understanding to solve problems in real-life situations. In the PYP, a balance is sought between acquisition of essential knowledge and skills, development of conceptual understanding, demonstration of positive attitudes, and taking responsible action.
Through this model of trans-disciplinary learning, students engage with a range of subjects: Languages (English and Hindi), Mathematics, Science and Social Studies, Arts (Music, Dance and Visual Arts) and Personal, Social and Physical Education. Information and Communication Technology is integral to all teaching and learning processes and thus focuses on skills and promotes responsible use of technology and information. The learning across the subjects is facilitated through the ‘Inquiry Pedagogy’, for students to actively construct meaning of the world around them, and for purposeful learning. Inquiry allows each student’s understanding of the world to develop in a manner and at a rate unique to that learner.
In the PYP, the impetus is equally on both academic and non-academic domains for students to build their interests and abilities in all aspects of the curriculum. Facilitators create authentic opportunities and quality learning environments to develop a strong sense of self-efficacy in students for an increased voice, choice, and ownership of their learning. This balance in the framework promotes varied prospects for students to showcase their interests and skills through In-School, Inter-School, national, and international events.
