Baccalaureate Academy
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) for children aged 3 – 12 fosters and develops young students as caring, active participants in a lifelong journey of learning.
Through its query-led, trans-disciplinary framework, the PYP summons students to think for themselves and take responsibility for their learning as they explore local and global issues and opportunities in real-life contexts.
Taught in over 109 countries around the world, the PYP curriculum framework is uniquely adaptable to state and national standards. Guided by six cross-disciplinary subjects of worldwide gravity, students intensify their learning by evolving their theoretical understandings; bolstering their knowledge and skills across and beyond subject areas.
Who is the PYP for?
As long as a school has been authorized to implement the programme, the PYP is open to any student aged 3 to 12.
The PYP is a transformative experience for students, teachers and whole school communities. PYP students learn how to take control of their learning, teachers collaborate to deepen student- learning and increase their confidence and self-motivation. The whole school community, including parents, are viewed as partners in learning, and actively contribute to a holistic educational experience.
