Each year of learning in the PYP is organised in to six main inquiries. The inquiries come under the Trans-disciplinary Themes, which are listed below. Each year group does each of the trans-disciplinary themes once each year. This ensures a balanced curriculum that addresses universal ideas relevant to all people regardless of cultural or geographic background. Click on each student made Icon to find out more
