The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) is designed for students aged 3 to 12. It focuses on the total growth of the developing child, touching hearts as well as minds and encompassing social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in addition to academic development.
The PYP draws on research and best practice from a range of national systems with a wealth of knowledge and experience from international schools to create a relevant, engaging, challenging and significant educational framework for all children.
The IB learner profile represents 10 attributes valued by IB World Schools. These attributes lead students to become internationally minded individuals. At Academia Moderna students strive to be:
•Inquirers
•Knowledgeable
•Thinkers
•Communicators
•Principled
•Open-minded
•Caring
•Risk-takers
•Balanced
•Reflective
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.
