The PYP focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in school and in the world beyond. The PYP offers a transformative experience for students, teachers and whole school communities and delivers excellent outcomes by providing an education that is engaging, relevant, challenging and significant.
PYP learners know how to take ownership of their learning, collaborating with teachers to deepen understanding and increase their confidence and self-motivation. Through actively engaging in integrated ongoing assessment they become effective, self-regulated learners who can act on constructive feedback.
Guided by six transdisciplinary themes of global significance, students broaden their learning by developing their conceptual understandings, strengthening their knowledge and skills across, between and beyond subject areas.
Each grade level collaboratively designs its Programme of Inquiry to ensure alignment with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) while incorporating the essential elements of the IB Primary Years Programme. These transdisciplinary units reflect best practices in teaching and learning and are thoughtfully constructed to foster inquiry, conceptual understanding, and student agency. Units are reviewed and refined annually to incorporate insights gained from classroom experiences, student questions, and evolving instructional practices.Â
