Learning in the primary years grades is focused on developing international mindedness. Our diversity is a strength that enriches the community, and our learning program fosters intercultural understanding and appreciation. We place a strong emphasis on how students learn as well as what they learn. We value the development of the whole child in all areas of learning. Through Inquiry learning, we aim for students to develop confidence in their own abilities, think for themselves, question, express their opinions and respect the opinions of others. Students are supported and nurtured in their social, emotional and physical development, as well as in their creativity, linguistic knowledge and skills within and across the subjects. We encourage students to take ownership of their learning, become critical thinkers and believe they can take action to make a difference in the world. Learning is designed to prepare them to become active, caring and thinking participants within a peaceful and sustainable future.
 

Central to our Primary Years Programme are the six transdisciplinary themes, which act as lenses through which our students explore significant global issues. These themes— "Who We Are," "Where We Are in Place and Time," "How We Express Ourselves," "How the World Works," "How We Organize Ourselves," and "Sharing the Planet"—ensure a holistic and interconnected learning experience, moving beyond traditional subject boundaries. Each theme encourages students to develop a deep understanding of concepts relevant to all humanity and the natural world, preparing them to make sense of, and engage with, complex global challenges.
