ESF Curriculum - International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme
The most significant and distinctive feature of the IB Primary Years Programme is the six transdisciplinary themes. These themes are supported by knowledge, concept and skills from the traditional subject areas but utilise them in ways beyond individual subject areas to support the transdisciplinary model of teaching and learning.
The six transdisciplinary themes are:
- Who we are
- Where we are in place and time
- How we express ourselves
- How the world works
- How we organise ourselves
- Sharing the planet
Students inquire into, and learn about, these globally significant issues in the context of units of inquiry, each of these addresses a central idea relevant to a particular transdisciplinary theme. These units collectively constitute the school’s programme of Inquiry.
