IB PYP Framework

Inquiry and Play-Based Learning

We design the curriculum around the inquiry cycle, which encourages students to explore, question, research, and construct their own understanding of the world.

Learning is centred around purposeful play, where students engage in hands-on, developmentally appropriate activities that spark their curiosity and imagination. This approach supports holistic development and makes learning an engaging and enjoyable learning experience.
