Programme of Inquiry ( P O I ) :  

The Primary Years Programme is a key element of the elementary school curriculum. Through the PYP, we offer an inquiry-based curriculum that empowers students to explore and construct knowledge and understanding. Through the PYP programme of inquiry students have the opportunity to develop an international perspective that relates to their lives in global community. We believe that learning takes place when we make connections to personal experiences and build upon prior knowledge and understanding. We place emphasis on the learning of concepts, skills and attitudes, as well as knowledge, as we prepare our students for their journey into secondary education and beyond.
