“Children are born curious, and I firmly believe that the IB curriculum is exceptional in
sustaining their curiosity and love of learning. Here all students are valued for what
they are, where they come from and what prior knowledge and skills they bring with
them to the classroom. They feel safe making mistakes and learn from those
mistakes. The educators motivate them to identify their strengths and stretches and
to set new and challenging goals for themselves while imparting knowledge, skills
and values necessary to achieve these goals. This learning process helps students
to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who will help to make this
world a better place to live in.”
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) is carefully designed to encourage students
to become independent learners. Here the students take charge of their learning by
exploring the world actively, thinking creatively and critically, solving problems, and
confidently expressing their thoughts and opinions. Units and learning engagements
are crafted to bring real-life issues to the forefront, provoking students' thinking. They
are invited to ask questions, reflect, and make connections to build a deep
understanding of concepts.
Authentic understanding leads to meaningful action motivating students to apply their
learning and bring about a positive change in the world around them. The curriculum
fosters self-efficacy, honoring students' voice and choice while encouraging them to
take ownership of their learning. Throughout this process, students not only acquire
knowledge but also develop human values and hone skills.
These values and skills guide students and prepare them for the next steps in their
educational journey in the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma
Programme (DP). The PYP Exhibition, the culmination of their learning journey in the
PYP, is a testament to their success and readiness for future academic challenges.
