Primary Years Programme (PYP) at Global Experts School System
At Global Experts School System, the Primary Years Programme (PYP) serves as the foundation for developing young learners into confident, independent, and lifelong learners. Designed for students aged 6 to 12 (Grades 1 to 5), the PYP provides a nurturing environment where children explore the world around them, think critically, and develop a global perspective.
What is the PYP?
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is an internationally recognized framework developed by the International Baccalaureate (IB). It emphasizes inquiry-based learning and focuses on the holistic development of students, covering academic, social, emotional, and physical growth. The PYP prepares students to become active participants in a rapidly changing world.
Key Features of the PYP
1. Inquiry-Based Learning
The PYP encourages students to ask questions, explore ideas, and engage in hands-on activities. This method promotes deeper understanding and fosters a love for learning.
2. Transdisciplinary Themes
Learning is organized around six globally significant themes:
- Who we are
- Where we are in place and time
- How we express ourselves
- How the world works
- How we organize ourselves
- Sharing the planet These themes connect knowledge across subject areas, encouraging students to see the bigger picture.
3. Holistic Development
The PYP focuses on developing the whole child. Beyond academics, it emphasizes emotional intelligence, physical development, and social skills. This holistic approach ensures well-rounded growth.
4. Student-Centered Learning
The PYP places students at the center of the learning process. By giving them ownership of their education, they develop confidence, independence, and problem-solving skills.
5. Action and Reflection
Students are encouraged to apply their learning to real-world situations. They reflect on their experiences, take meaningful action, and develop as responsible global citizens.
