INQUIRY APPROACH TO TEACHING & LEARNING

Inquiry is the pedagogical approach to teaching and learning in all PYP schools. The PYP frames units of inquiry around concepts that engage the students in real-world questions and problems through authentic contexts at both local and global levels. Through inquiry students are able to develop and strengthen transferable approaches to learning such as thinking, research, communication, social and self-management skills.  

An inquiry approach to teaching and learning also helps to develop students’ agency. Our students are actively involved in the learning process where independence and responsibility is nurtured by giving students choice and voice in our learning environments.  As active agents in their learning, students are able to construct meaning about themselves and the world around them using effective questioning, strategies and critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
