Makowski families-

Please visit the link below for your transportation needs.

Should you need a SECOND drop off/pick up for your student other than your home address, there is a separate form for that. In order to receive this alternative transportation, it must be for FIVE days a week.

Please attend to your transportation needs ASAP as it takes about TWO WEEKS for any changes to occur. If you want this change before school begins, you should complete the proper forms immediately.

Our School

We Are IB

What is the Primary Years Program (PYP)?

The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Primary Years Programme is a curriculum framework designed for students aged 3 to 12.

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.

What the PYP offers students

By choosing to implement the PYP, schools will develop students’ academic, social and emotional wellbeing, focusing on international-mindedness and strong personal values. The PYP nurtures independent learning skills, encouraging every student to take responsibility for their learning.

The programme incorporates local and global issues into the curriculum, asking students to look at six related, transdisciplinary themes and to consider the links between them. The themes include ‘who we are’, ‘where we are in place and time’ and ‘how the world works’.

PYP Curriculum

The Primary Years Programme (PYP) presents schools with a comprehensive plan for high quality, international education.

It provides schools with a curriculum framework of essential elements — the knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes, and action that young students need to equip them for successful lives, both now and in the future.

Schools work with the five elements to construct a rigorous and challenging primary curriculum for international education.

The PYP aims to create a curriculum that is engaging, relevant, challenging and significant for learners in the 3–12 age range. The curriculum is transdisciplinary, meaning that it focuses on issues that go across subject areas.

The PYP is organized according to:

The written curriculum, which explains what PYP students will learn

The taught curriculum, which sets out how educators teach the PYP

The assessed curriculum, which details the principles and practice of effective assessment in the PYP
