The PYP curriculum framework allows students to acquire essential skills in an atmosphere where deeper understanding of concepts is nurtured 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.
PYP educators in Fairview are committed to structured inquiry as the leading vehicle for learning; building on students’ prior knowledge and providing opportunities for students to build meaning and refine their understanding. Our students engage in purposeful meaning and understanding of the world around them. Simultaneously, they learn valuable communication and collaborative skills, so they will be able to engage fully over our ever evolving world.
The PYP is a transdisciplinary programme which is organized around six themes that are of global significance and relevance. Within each theme are Units of Inquiry (UoI) for each year level, which when combined make up our Programme of Inquiry (POI). The six PYP transdisciplinary themes are:
The PYP framework recognizes that individual subject areas have value in themselves and they also provide students with knowledge and skills to explore the six transdisciplinary themes. Students are made aware of the links to other areas of the curriculum in order to understand the interconnected nature of the subject areas both with one another and with the transdisciplinary themes. Furthermore, PYP students explore subject areas through the Units of Inquiry (UoI), often in ways that transcend conventional subject boundaries. In the process, they develop an understanding of important concepts, obtain essential skill, develop attitudes and learn to contribute to society.
