Our Program of Inquiry

Transdisciplinary Themes

In the Primary Years Program (PYP), six significant, universal themes provide conceptual structure.

Our teachers collaboratively write units of inquiry which incorporate knowledge across subject disciplines.

Each year, our students' understanding of these concepts deepens.

A look at the themes across the grade levels: 

• Who We Are
• Where We Are in Place and Time
• How We Express Ourselves
• How the World Works
• How We Organize Ourselves
• Sharing the Planet

• Academic Integrity
• Assessment    
• Inclusion
• Language
