The Primary Years Programme gives children a confident, nurturing and purposeful start to learning. At WIS, our youngest students learn in a caring international environment where curiosity is encouraged, questions are welcomed and every child is known and supported.

The PYP helps children grow not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. From the very beginning, students are encouraged to think, explore, communicate and build the confidence to take an active role in their learning.

At WIS, we offer the PYP for children aged 4 to 11. As an IB World School, we combine international best practice with personal care and a strong sense of belonging

WIS was one of the first schools in Poland authorised to offer the IB Primary Years Programme.

PYP Curriculum Framework

In the PYP, children learn through inquiry. They are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas, make connections and take an active role in their learning. This helps them become curious, engaged and reflective learners from an early age.

Rather than treating subjects as separate and unrelated, the PYP helps children connect learning across different areas and understand how ideas relate to the world around them. This makes learning more meaningful, memorable and relevant.

PYP Subjects

In the PYP, children develop knowledge and skills across six key subject areas. These provide a strong academic foundation while also helping students grow in confidence, communication and understanding of the world around them.

The PYP identifies a body of critical knowledge for students in all cultures in six subject areas: English Language & Social Studies, Mathematics, Science & Technology, Visual & Performing Arts, Personal & Physical Education and Polish.
