The Curriculum
The Primary Years Programme is a curriculum framework of the International Baccalaureate, which is committed to the development of internationally-minded, global citizens of the world. Student-centred approaches to teaching and learning are at the heart of the PYP. Students are active participants in their own learning and exercise agency, voice, choice and ownership. They contribute their ideas and thinking to learning processes as members of our learning community. The PYP is taught through transdisciplinary units of inquiry, meaning that traditional subject area content is integrated into real world explorations and inquiry projects. Knowledge, skills and concepts are developed through the transdisciplinary units of inquiry. For more information please see our school guide.
Fireflies Programme
The Fireflies Class supports Primary-aged students (4–11 years) who have learning or developmental needs and require education in a specialised small-group setting. We have developed a school standard for this group that provides an overview of our educational offering. The Dutch learning objectives from special education form the basis for this, and these are connected to the units of Inquiry in the PYP. The goal of this class is to support students to become independent learners in a group setting. For more information about the Fireflies programme, please see our school guide.
