Primary Years Programme Monza

In June 2005 we were authorised to offer the IB Primary Years Programme.

The PYP is a transdiciplinary programme of international education for students aged from 3 to 12 years. The PYP combines the best research and practice from a range of national systems with a wealth of knowledge and experience in international schools. It creates a transdisciplinary curriculum which is relevant, challenging and engaging.

The educational framework of the programme is designed to help students develop the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills necessary to participate actively and responsibly in a changing world. The programme encourages and promotes reflection which leads to action as an integral part of the learning process. By implementing the PYP we believe we are educating our children to become internationally-minded people.

The central focus of the PYP is the Learner Profile which defines ten attributes that are developed through the PYP curriculum, our school’s environment, culture and the people in our community. The Learner Profile continues to be central to learning in the MYP and Diploma Programs.

Our program is taught in English and the learning of an additional language, Italian, is a requirement of all students from Grade 1 upwards. Students are taught Italian either as a mother tongue language or as a second language, for students coming from other countries.
