Primary Years Programme (PYP) at Our School
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is designed for students aged 3–12 and aims to support their academic, social, physical, emotional, and cultural development. It is an educational approach that guides what students should learn, how it should be taught, and the strategies used to assess learning. At our school, the National Education Curriculum is fully integrated under the PYP framework. All units are approached through transdisciplinary themes that promote inquiry. This program connects classroom learning with real-life experiences. PYP emphasizes the whole child, focusing not only on classroom learning but also on learning in various contexts beyond school. It asserts that knowledge alone is not sufficient; understanding key concepts and developing appropriate skills are essential. It aims to strike a balance between acquiring knowledge, developing conceptual understanding, and taking responsible action. Instead of memorizing information, students are encouraged to understand it through inquiry and exploration.
