Primary Years Program
Students from age 5 to 12
The IB Primary Years Programme is a curriculum framework for children aged 3-12. At NLIS, the PYP covers grades 1-6. Our students develop conceptual understanding through inquiry-based transdisciplinary curriculum.
With the use of IB, we encourage the students to develop into curious and ethical people with the ability to apply their knowledge to a range of real-world situations. We aim to create a better world based on a good education, where the skills gained in the curriculum can be used in daily life beyond school.
PYP education is based on six subject areas
Language
Social studies
Mathematics
Arts
Science
