The PYP stands for Primary the Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate. It is one of three programs of a wider curriculum framework for students aged 3 to 18 designed to serve a diverse community of learners worldwide in fostering international-mindedness and global knowledge. Founded on a philosophy that recognizes a child’s natural curiosity, creativity and ability to reflect, the PYP generates a stimulating and challenging learning environment to nurture those assets and foster a lifelong love of learning in every child. The IB PYP has defined its core principles and designed a framework for schools around the world, all while inspired by its vision of who the IB learner should be: an inquirer, knowledgeable, a thinker, a communicator, principled, open-minded, caring, a risk-taker, balanced, and reflective.
