IB PYP: Units of Inquiry and the Learner Profile

IB PYP – transdisciplinary themes, learner profile and PYP exhibition

The Primary Years Programme

The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) is designed for students aged 3–12. It focuses on the development of the whole child through an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary curriculum framework.

Six Transdisciplinary Themes

  • Who we are

  • Where we are in place and time

  • How we express ourselves

  • How the world works

  • How we organise ourselves

  • Sharing the planet

The IB Learner Profile

All IB programmes develop 10 Learner Profile attributes: Inquirers, Knowledgeable, Thinkers, Communicators, Principled, Open-minded, Caring, Risk-takers, Balanced, and Reflective.

The PYP Exhibition

In Year 5/6, students undertake a collaborative inquiry project – the Exhibition – demonstrating their understanding of a transdisciplinary theme through research, action and reflection.
