Course Programs

Primary Years Programme (PYP): Primary Education

The PYP is an IB-authorized program for children aged 3 to 12. With English as the primary language of instruction, children develop thinking skills, creativity, and expression through exploring everyday themes. Learning takes place through six transdisciplinary themes (such as “Who We Are” and “Where We Are in Place and Time”), transcending traditional subject boundaries. Through inquiry-based education where students formulate their own questions and deepen their learning, the foundation for future international studies is built.

Middle Years Programme (MYP): Secondary Education

The MYP is a five-year IB program for students aged 11 to 16. Going beyond traditional subjects, students explore the connection between real-world issues and eight subject groups: Language, Science, Mathematics, Arts, Design, Physical Education, Social Studies, and Health. The program develops critical and reflective thinking skills while emphasizing international-mindedness, communication, collaboration, and action, aiming to develop students who learn independently and contribute to society.
