IB PYP At XIS

Take a look at the IB Primary Years Programme at XIS, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Inquiry-based learning teaches children to grasp concepts and their nuances. Instead of memorizing facts, children learn how to ask questions, process the information and reflect on solutions. Teachers guide and facilitate learning rather than tell children what or how to think. This approach equips children to think outside the box and solve real-world problems.

Through the IB PYP, children first learn to trust their abilities and mind. Then they participate in group and team activities with peers and teachers. The process lays the foundation for collaboration, communication and other essential interpersonal skills.

Children in the IB PYP learn how to analyze information, look at challenges from various angles and solve problems. Developed during inquiry-based learning, these critical and creative thinking skills develop a child’s confidence. Children can also apply the same abilities to various academic subjects and extracurricular activities.

The student-centered IB PYP equips children to become responsible and autonomous learners with a global mindset. Instead of receiving information like a sponge, children must work to learn. As a result, they discover how to take ownership of their learning and pride themselves on a job well done.

The IB PYP prompts children to express themselves in various ways using multiple languages. As they work independently and in groups, they develop verbal, written and listening skills. In addition, children practice communication as they process information, discuss findings and share conclusions.

Open-mindedness, empathy and compassion are essential skills for thriving in the world and will remain so. Children naturally cultivate these and other skills as part of the IB PYP learner profile. While discovering concepts, children understand how to see issues from different perspectives, value a global mindset and care about issues and people.

To succeed in higher education and the workplace, your child needs a well-rounded education, which is why we prioritize the 4 C’s—Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication and Creativity—of 21st-century education. Our classroom activities, workshops, exhibitions, service projects and other events support the development and growth of our students. As a result, your child gains skills that equip them for success at school and beyond.

Our student body comprising students from over 40 cultural diversity creates a unique space that invites your child to embrace a global mindset. While learning, playing and discovering alongside children from different regions, cultures and nations, your child gains invaluable experience. As a result, your child is more empathetic and prepared to live and work in the global economy.

In addition to understanding the IB PYP framework and implementing it through the course of the PYP, our trained and qualified teachers know how to stimulate, appreciate and reward children. They are passionate about this educational approach and constantly learn new ideas and techniques they can use in the classroom. Your child receives constant support from facilitators who guide and nurture.

Our facilities add depth and increase support as your child completes projects, explores concepts and engages in inquiry-based learning. Students have access to collaborative learning spaces, separate areas for music, dance and sports. In addition, our SMART campus has innovation rooms, skills-based studios and digital classrooms that motivate students to learn and explore new things each day.

The IB PYP includes a framework that supports your child’s educational journey. The learner and the learning community together create a nurturing educational environment that promotes a love of learning.
