PYP pedagogy is embedded in best practices for teaching, and follows an inquiry-based, concept-driven and transdisciplinary approach to learning.
The curriculum is shaped by five essential elements that guide and inform practice: knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes and action, and—using six internationally-defined transdisciplinary themes—learners explore globally relevant concepts through the Programme of Inquiry. PYP education extends beyond the intellectual to include not only socially responsible attitudes, but also thoughtful and appropriate action. This approach to learning provides PYP students with an opportunity to engage in the Action Cycle: choose, act, reflect.
