The ISHR Primary provides a dynamic learning environment where students are encouraged to experience new things while building the foundational skills necessary for academic success. Our program focuses on innovative practices that promote learning at deeper levels. Students experience a curriculum that encourages the creation of new things and the solving of real-world problems. Students are empowered to set goals, reflect on their learning, and take action. Creativity is developed as students are provoked to think deeper and share their learning in a variety of ways. The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) provides the framework for a lifetime of inquiry by teaching our students to be curious about the world, develop confidence, and express their opinions while respecting the differing opinions of others. We focus on the development of the whole child in every area of learning; academic, emotional, and social learning are all valued.

TRANSDISCIPLINARY THEMES

These six transdisciplinary themes mark the starting point of student inquiries. It is within the context of each theme that students explore related central ideas and assimilate knowledge. These themes engage the learning community in rich dialogues and ongoing collaboration to build an understanding of themselves, their wider community and the world.

Key Concepts

approaches to learning

At ISHR, students learn how to learn. Through the ATL, they develop the skills to take responsibility for their learning. The PYP has identified five categories of interrelated skills that help students become self-regulated learners, ask good questions, set e!ective goals, and pursue their aspirations.

The PYP identifies seven key concepts that facilitate planning for a conceptual approach to transdisciplinary and subject-specific learning. Together, these key concepts form the component that drives the teacher- and/or student-constructed inquiries that lie at the heart of the PYP curriculum.
