IB PYP Mission
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
This program encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right. This inquiry based programme revolves around the six transdisciplinary themes surrounding the six subject areas. Teachers are guided by these six transdisciplinary themes as they design units of inquiry that both transcend and articulate conventional subject boundaries.
PYP Transdisciplinary Themes
The PYP has six trans disciplinary themes that provide the framework for learning. These themes are globally significant and support the acquisition of knowledge, concepts and skills of the traditional subjects. They are revisited throughout the students’ time in the PYP.

KEY CONCEPTS
ATTITUDES: What do we want students to feel value and demonstrate?
“While recognizing the importance of knowledge, concepts and skills, these alone do not make an internationally minded person. It is vital that there is also focus on the development of personal attitudes towards people, towards the environment and towards learning, attitudes that contribute to the well-being of the individual and of the group.”
