Key Concepts

IB-PYP is driven by eight key concepts which give the inquiries direction and meaning. The Key Concepts brings together the six transdisciplinary themes, allowing students to connect the big idea across subjects.

"The concepts that drive the PYP are timeless (factual examples change, but not the core understanding), universal (so students can apply understandings across cultures, situations and disciplines) and abstract (so students engage in higher order thinking to grapple with central ideas).”
