The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) is for children from three to 12 years-of age, and engages young students as active participants in a lifelong journey of learning.

The PYP transdisciplinary framework focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both at school and beyond. Informed by research into how students learn, how educators teach, and the principles and practice of effective assessment, the programme places a powerful emphasis on inquiry-based learning.
