The PYP believes that international education must extend beyond

intellectual attainment to include not only responsible attitudes but also

thoughtful and appropriate action.

International schools can and should meet the challenge of offering all

learners the opportunity and the power to choose their actions, to act

and to reflect on these actions in order to make a difference in and to

the world.

(IB,MTPYPH)

Why include ACTION in the 5 key elements?
