An aim of the PYP is to create a trans-disciplinary curriculum that is engaging, relevant, challenging and significant for learners in the 3–12 age range.
In the PYP a balance is sought between acquisition of essential knowledge and skills, development of conceptual understanding, demonstration of positive attitudes, and taking of responsible action.
The subjects include language, mathematics, social studies, science, personal, social and physical education, and the arts.
The curriculum is trans-disciplinary, meaning that it focuses on issues that go across subject areas. There are six trans-disciplinary themes: who we are, where we are in place and time, how we express ourselves, how the world works, how we organize ourselves, sharing the planet.
