Primary Years Programme
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is an international educational programme for children aged 3–12. From the very first days in kindergarten up to grade 4 of primary school, it nurtures curiosity, independence, and creativity. Students explore six engaging transdisciplinary themes, learning not only facts but also how to see connections between them.
At our school, every child learns to think like an explorer – conducting their own research, asking questions, and seeking solutions. This approach builds self-confidence, responsibility, and openness to collaboration. PYP develops social awareness, strengthens a sense of belonging, and fosters values that form the foundation of tolerance and respect for our multicultural world.
The programme is flexible – we combine IB requirements with the Polish national curriculum to ensure the best preparation for the Middle Years Programme and further education.
In the early years we focus especially on:
Middle Years Programme
The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is an international educational programme for students in grades 5–8 of primary school. It combines the solid foundation of the Polish curriculum with innovative IB teaching methods. MYP is a natural continuation of PYP, broadening students’ horizons and preparing them for the challenges of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP).
In MYP, students take part in interdisciplinary lessons and projects, conduct research, create original work, and carry out experiments. They develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to apply knowledge in practice. Transparent assessment criteria and broad opportunities for inquiry make students more responsible for their own learning and more motivated to take on challenges.
The programme builds pro-social attitudes, sensitivity to the needs of others, and intercultural understanding. It culminates with an individual project in English – an important step in continuing education within the IB system.
Shaping Attitudes
IB programmes emphasize that knowledge and skills are essential, but not enough to shape a true 21st-century global citizen. Therefore, they focus on nurturing certain attitudes toward people, the environment, and education – qualities defined in the IB Learner Profile.
