Primary Years Programme

Pre-KG to Grade 5

Ajman Academy is authorized to offer the Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) of the International Baccalaureate (IB) which provides a comprehensive curriculum framework for teaching and learning in the primary years (Pre-KG to Grade 5). The curriculum and pedagogy of PYP focus on international perspectives of learning and teaching while insisting that students fully explore their home culture and language.

IB MISSION STATEMENT

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect (IBO).

IB-PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAMME

The Primary Years Programme (PYP) in schools is an educational framework developed by the International Baccalaureate (IB) for students aged 3 to 12. It is designed to provide a holistic educational experience that fosters not only academic development but also social, emotional, and physical growth. The PYP emphasizes inquiry-based learning, encouraging students to explore and understand the world around them through open-ended questioning and investigation. It focuses on developing international-mindedness, encouraging students to respect and understand different cultures, beliefs, and perspectives. Additionally, the PYP aims to develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and a love for lifelong learning. Schools that implement the PYP framework integrate its principles into their curriculum, teaching practices, and assessment strategies to provide a well-rounded education for their students.

The core focus at Ajman Academy is learning and teaching in a caring, safe and welcoming environment where students are challenged to strive for personal excellence. The school believes in encouraging children to enquire.

HOW IS THE PROGRAMME  TAUGHT?

The most significant and distinctive feature of the IB Primary Years Programme is the transdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning. In this approach, students engage in the exploration of complex, real-world issues that require the integration of knowledge and skills from various academic fields under six Transdisciplinary themes.The programme offers a balance between learning about or through the subject areas and learning beyond them. The six themes of global significance create a transdisciplinary framework that allows students to “step up” beyond the confines of learning within subject areas.

  • Who we are
  • Where we are in place and time
  • How we express ourselves
  • How the world works
  • How we organize ourselves
  • Sharing the Planet
SUBJECT AREAS TAUGHT THROUGH THE UNITS OF INQUIRY
  • English and Language
  • Mathematics
  • Arabic
  • Art
  • Music
  • Physical Education including Swimming
  • Social Studies (including History and Geography)
  • Science

THE GRADE 5 PYP EXHIBITION

The PYP Exhibition is an important part of the PYP for all students as it is the culmination of their years in primary. In the final year of the programme, students undertake a collaborative, transdisciplinary inquiry process that involves them in identifying, investigating and offering solutions to real-life issues or problems. As the culminating experience of the PYP, the Exhibition offers students an exciting opportunity to demonstrate independence and responsibility for their own learning and encourages them to take meaningful action.
