Curriculum

The Aga Khan Primary School offers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP), which is designed for students between the ages of 3 and 12 years.

CurriculumThe PYP focuses on the total growth of the developing child, touching hearts as well as minds and encompassing social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in addition to academic development.It is a highly-regarded international, trans-disciplinary programme which aims to foster the development of the whole child and is geared towards creating independent, confident and respectful learners.

The PYP focuses on the total growth of the developing child, touching hearts as well as minds and encompassing social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in addition to academic development.  The PYP combines the best research and practice from a range of national systems with a wealth of knowledge and experience from international schools to create a relevant and engaging educational framework for all children.  At the centre of the PYP is a commitment to structured inquiry.  While giving children a firm foundation in the core areas of learning they also participate in problem solving, asking questions, actively seeing explanations and forming hypotheses and generalizations original to them.
