Primary Years Programme (PYP*)

BGSIAS is an authorized IB PYP World School (062032), accredited to offer the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP). We  at BGSIAS, thoughtfully aligned our teaching practices, learning approaches, and school culture with the philosophy, standards, and practices of the International Baccalaureate. Following a rigorous and reflective authorization process, BGSIAS proudly achieved full authorization—marking a significant milestone in our commitment to excellence in education.

The IB PYP strongly aligns with the vision of BGSIAS to nurture confident, compassionate, and responsible global citizens. At our school, we believe in empowering learners to think independently, act ethically, and contribute meaningfully to society. Through its inquiry-based and student-centered framework, the PYP fosters learners who are inquirers, thinkers, communicators, and caring individuals. It promotes international-mindedness and holistic development, enabling our students to understand their role and responsibility within both their local community and the wider global context.

  • Student-centered, valuing voice, choice, and ownership of learning
  • Action-oriented, inspiring students to apply their learning in real-life contexts
  • Through transdisciplinary Units of Inquiry, students develop academic skills alongside social, emotional, and ethical understanding.

Developing the Whole Child
