What is the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program?
The IB Primary Years Program (PYP) for children aged 3 - 12 nurtures and develops young students as caring, active participants in a lifelong learning journey.
The PYP offers an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary curriculum framework that builds conceptual understanding. It is a student-centered approach to education for children aged 3-12. It reflects the best of educational research, thought leadership, and experience derived from IB World Schools.
The PYP has evolved to become a world leader in future-focused education. The PYP is an example of best educational practice globally, responding to the challenges and opportunities facing young students in our rapidly changing world.

★ Encourage your child to try out new things —new foods, new games, and new activities.
★ Expose your child to different festivals, celebrations, and traditions, and be sure to present them in a non-judgmental way.
★ Encourage your child to really listen to others when they speak.
Reflective
★ Spend some time reviewing your child’s report card with them. They should also have the opportunity to review this document and consider it. Discuss it with them and genuinely consider their thoughts, strengths, and areas for improvement.
★ Use time at the end of activities to reflect on the significant positives and improvements.
★ Encourage your child to create a reflection journal or scrapbook about important events.
Caring
★ Role model the caring behavior you would like to see in your child all the time. Using kind words, helping people without being asked, being an active listener, and consistently showing care for others.
★ After reading a book, spend time considering how people in the book acted. Was someone caring? All of the time or just some of the time? Were all the characters in the book caring or were just some of them?
★ Practice random acts of kindness. Simple things like holding the door for someone or helping carry bags shows that you are aware of others and want to help them.
