The PYP, or Primary Years Program, is the elementary version of the International Baccalaureate. The IB is an organization that is motivated by a mission to create a better world through education.
The IB promotes intercultural understanding and respect, not as an alternative to a sense of cultural and national identity, but as an essential part of life in the 21st century.
All of this is captured in their mission statement:
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
This blog will be a window into Spicewood's PYP program, a place to learn more about how and what we teach and learn here at Spicewood!
