Transdisciplinary Themes

The PYP programme helps students acquire a holistic understanding of content through six main organizing themes.  The main question that teachers ask is, ‘What do we want the children to know?’ In answering this question, the program of inquiry (POI) is organized around these six transdisciplinary themes:

  • Who we are?
  • Where we are in place and time?
  • How the world works?
  • How we organize ourselves?
  • Sharing the planet?
  • How we express ourselves?
