Mission
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring,
knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better
and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and
respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and
international organizations to develop challenging programmes of
international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become
active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that
other people, with their differences, can also be right.
Alignment of the school’s mission
with that of the IB
Overview of the PYP - IB Official Video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOhS6viEg4w
“The heart of the programme”
“The brains of the programme”
The Iceberg Model of Culture
•Similar to an iceberg,
nine tenths of culture
operates below the
surface
•In IB schools we want
students to be working
below the surface to
a p p r e c i a t e a n d
understand cultural
s i m i l a r i t i e s a n d
differences
PYP curriculum - “the brains of a PYP school”
How is the PYP curriculum defined?
WRITTEN
ASSESSED TAUGHT
“All three components inform each other”
Inquiry
The Written curriculum
Divided into six transdisciplinary themes across the year.
• Where we are in place and time
• Who we are
• How we express ourselves
• How the world works
• How we organize ourselves
• Sharing the planet
The programme offers a balance between learning about or through the subject
areas, and learning beyond them.
The Written curriculum
Each of the six transdisciplinary themes is presented as a unit of inquiry.
Every unit of inquiry requires all students to come to an understanding of a
central idea. Example:
Where we are in place and time
Human migration is a response to challenge and opportunity
The programme offers a balance between learning about or through the subject
areas, and learning beyond them.
The Taught curriculum

LINES OF INQUIRY

• How people maintain their culture in a new
country
Language Geography
ScienceMath
ArtsPSPE
What positive attitudes might they develop?
How to
support your
child
Children learn by doing, so do activities with them
and not for them
Ask questions that help them explore their
connections to the world and to what they are learning
Use the learner profile terms
Help them become independent
Give feedback, praise their efforts, not their ego
