International Baccalaureate
Primary Years Programme

Our school reflects the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of education, fostering self-expression and equipping students with the skills to thrive as 21st-century learners. As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, we offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for children aged 3 to 11. This international program nurtures international-mindedness, providing a consistent and inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning.

At Tariq Bin Ziad School, we believe in the power of concept-based inquiry, where students explore big ideas that transcend subjects and encourage deep, meaningful understanding. This approach helps students make connections, think critically, and apply their learning to real-world contexts.

Through the PYP framework, students engage in Units of Inquiry that foster curiosity and conceptual understanding:

• PS3 and PS4 explore four Units of Inquiry.
• Kindergarten explores five Units of Inquiry.
• Grades 1 to 5 explore six Units of Inquiry.

Our values are embedded in everyday life, creating a safe, inclusive, and stimulating learning environment where students can reach their full potential—academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.

The Primary Years Programme encourages students to become active participants in their lifelong learning journey. With a focus on developing the whole child, we emphasize a deep understanding and application of the IB Learner Profile among teachers, students, and parents.

The IB Learner Profile represents a broad range of human attributes, skills, and responsibilities that empower individuals and communities to engage meaningfully at local, national, and global levels. Through these guiding principles, we prepare our students to become compassionate, knowledgeable, and responsible citizens of the world.

The Primary Years Programme prepares students to be active participants in a lifelong journey of learning.
