Primary Years Programme (Nursery - Grade 5)
What is the Primary Years Programme (PYP) at ISP?
At the International School of Paris, our students aged 3 to 10 learn through the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme.
We believe our students...
- learn through inquiry within a concept driven curriculum;
- build on prior knowledge when learning new things;
- have opportunities to learn individually and collaboratively;
- are competent individuals with a voice and opinions;
- get support in their journey to become autonomous learners.
Our students can...
- collaborate to make positive contributions to their class, school and wider community;
- use language to communicate effectively;
- think critically and apply knowledge and skills in a variety of situations;
- display high levels of organisation, resilience and perseverance;
- value research and lifelong learning.
Our teachers and staff...
- create stimulating learning environments that provoke critical thinking;
- engage in disciplined dialogue around student learning;
- are lifelong learners;
- are committed to ongoing professional development and engage in effective, up-to-date practices;
- support students and their families academically, socially and emotionally through dialogue and community workshops.
