PYP is the official curriculum framework and teaching methodology of the International Baccalaureate Organization which was developed to meet the needs of children in the Primary Years (Pre-school - Grade5). It emphasizes learning through active inquiry and aims to develop the whole child to meet certain competencies and attitudes outlined in the student profile.
Our aim is to develop globally-minded citizens who are:
Inquirers - curious and actively enjoy questioning the workings of the world
Thinkers - able to problem solve and think critically
Communicators - able to think and communicate in more than one way
Caring - sensitive to the needs of others
Principled - fair and honest
Reflective - able to think about oneself and make constructive changes when needed
Knowledgeable - able to explore and apply relevant and significant concepts
Balanced - healthy and aware of good choices
Open-minded - able to consider many possibilities before making decisions
Courageous (or) Risk-Taker - willing to try new things
