Students in the 21st century are faced with the challenge of learning about an interconnected world where knowledge is constantly developing. One way we help students connect to the world around them is to view it through six transdisciplinary themes. Each grade level explores one unit under each theme, connecting to and building off of, their prior knowledge and experiences.
The PYP offers a balance between learning about or through the subject areas, and learning beyond them. The six themes have global significance and create a transdisciplinary framework that allows students to learn while investigating issues that have meaning for, and are important to, all of us.
These themes are:
•Who we are
•Where we are in place and time
•How we express ourselves
•How the world works
•How we organize ourselves
•Sharing the planet
