Primary Years Programme (3 to 12 years)

PYP at a glance

The PYP is an international, transdisciplinary programme designed for students between ages 3 – 12 years (preschool and primary grades). It is designed to foster the development of the whole child, touching hearts as well as minds and encloses social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in addition to academic welfare. The PYP is based on research about best teaching practices from all over the world and provides a relevant and engaging educational program.

The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is followed from the Early Learning Centre and culminates with the Exhibition in Grade 5. 

Anton Bruckner International School’s approach to learning and teaching in the Primary School is guided by the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum framework.  

IB-World schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Anton Bruckner Primary School believes is important for our students.

We have been officially authorised to offer the PYP since May 2014 and successfully completed our first IB Evaluation Visit in March 2018. The results of this most recent visit acknowledge the work we are doing as a successful IB PYP school. The Evaluation Report recommended us for having “built a stimulating learning environment based on understanding and respect throughout the school community“.
