International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme
Authorized June 6, 2013
IB Mission Statement:
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help
to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop
challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong
learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
What is International Baccalaureate (IB)?
The IB aspires to help schools develop well-rounded students with character who respond to challenges with
optimism and an open mind, are confident in their own identities, make ethical decisions, join with others in
celebrating our common humanity and are prepared to apply what they learn in real-world, complex and
unpredictable situations.
What is the Primary Years Programme (PYP)?
The PYP is designed for students aged 3 to 12. It focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer,
both in the classroom and in the world outside. It is a framework guided by six transdisciplinary themes of
global significance, explored using knowledge and skills derived from six subject areas, as well as
transdisplinary skills, with a powerful emphasis on inquiry.
To provide you with important information pertaining to our school’s PYP, this document also contains the
following:
• IB Learner Profile
• Cornerstone’s Assessment Policy
• Cornerstone’s Language Policy
What is the IB Learner Profile?
The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common
humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better more peaceful world by striving to be:
INQUIRERS We nurture our curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. We know how to learn independently and with others. We learn with enthusiasm and sustain our love of learning throughout life. KNOWLEDGEABLE We develop and use conceptual understanding, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines. We engage with issues and ideas that have local and global significance. THINKERS We use critical and creative thinking skills to analyse and take responsible action on complex problems. We exercise initiative in making reasoned, ethical decisions. COMMUNICATORS We express ourselves confidently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. We collaborate effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups. PRINCIPLED We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences. OPEN-MINDED We critically appreciate our own cultures and personal histories, as well as the values and traditions of others. We seek and evaluate a range of points of view, and we are willing to grow from the experience. CARING We show empathy, compassion and respect. We have a commitment to service, and we act to make a positive difference in the lives of others and in the world around us. COURAGEOUS We approach uncertainty with forethought and determination; we work independently and cooperatively to explore new ideas and innovative strategies. We are resourceful and resilient in the face of challenges and change. BALANCED We understand the importance of balancing different aspects of our lives-intellectual, physical, and emotional-to achieve well-being for ourselves and others. We recognize our interdependence with other people and with the world in which we live. REFLECTIVE We thoughtfully consider the world and our own ideas and experience. We work to understand our strengths and weaknesses in order to support our learning and personal development.
