Primary Years Programme (PYP*)

BGS International Academia School is a Candidate School* for the PYP. The school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy – a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that we believe is important for our students.

Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org.

The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) is a dynamic framework that aims to foster holistic development in students aged 3 to 12 years old. The program is centered around inquiry-based learning, which encourages students to explore, question, and understand the world around them. By integrating academic, personal, and social development, the PYP strives to cultivate well-rounded individuals equipped with the skills and mindset needed for success in an interconnected world.

During the candidate phase, our team of dedicated educators and administrators are working hard to align our curriculum with the rigorous standards set by the IB organization. We are creating engaging units of inquiry that spark curiosity and critical thinking, fostering an environment where students become active, lifelong learners.

Our commitment to the principles of the PYP extends beyond the classroom. We actively promote international-mindedness, ensuring that our students develop a deep appreciation for diverse cultures, perspectives, and global issues. By doing so, we are preparing them to thrive in an ever-changing and interconnected global landscape. We invite you to stay connected and witness the transformation taking place at BGSIAS.
