Campus des Nations

The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) is a curriculum designed for young learners (ages 3-12) in international schools.
	IBPYP member schools are appraised on a regular basis and are required to meet stringent membership criteria. Visit the International Baccalaureate Organization's (IBO) web page to learn more about the PYP.
What will children learn? The IBPYP has designed a transdisciplinary curriculum, which draw the individual disciplines together into a coherent whole, while preserving the essence of each subject.
	Children will: Develop a deep understanding of important concepts; Conduct research into knowledge which has local and global significance; Acquire and practice a range of essential skills; Be encouraged to develop positive attitudes towards learning, the environment and other people; Have the opportunity for involvement in appropriate and responsible action.
We view the curriculum as everything that happens in the school - not just within the classroom. Our school encourages the students to take an active part in all aspects of school life and to become independent, responsible life-long learners.
