IB Primary Years Programme
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) at Tesla Education nurtures curiosity through inquiry-based, transdisciplinary learning - supporting holistic growth and shaping confident, compassionate lifelong learners.
How young learners discover themselves and their world
The PYP curriculum at Tesla Education inspires curiosity, creativity, and confidence through an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary approach to learning. At the heart of it all is a simple belief: students learn best when they are empowered to ask questions, explore ideas, and take ownership of their own education.
Inquiry-based learning
Student-centred learning
Students are placed at the centre of their education, pursuing their interests, shaping their inquiries, and taking genuine ownership of how they learn.
Fostering curiosity
Authentic, real-world inquiries spark students’ natural curiosity and develop a genuine, lasting love for learning across all subject areas.
Transdisciplinary themes
The curriculum is organized around six transdisciplinary themes that provide a framework for learning across different subject areas.
Who We Are
Where We Are in Place and Time
How We Express Ourselves
How the World Works
How We Organize Ourselves
Sharing the Planet
What students learn
Every unit of inquiry is grounded in one or more of six subject disciplines, ensuring students build strong foundational knowledge while always making connections to the bigger picture.
Inquiry-based units of learning
Each unit focuses on big ideas, encouraging children to ask questions, explore themes, and connect subjects.
Play-based projects
Hands-on activities and collaborative projects develop key skills while making learning fun and meaningful.
Language and Numeracy foundations
Daily storytime, phonics, and counting games lay a solid groundwork for future academic success and lifelong literacy.
STEM for young minds
Early exposure to science, technology, engineering, and math sparks curiosity and builds critical-thinking skills.
Emotional and social skills
Self-awareness, emotional expression, empathy, and sharing with others.
Arts
Imagination and creativity through drawing, modeling, dancing, and acting.
Learning Path at Tesla
Assessment in the PYP is meaningful and purposeful, serving not just as a measure of what students know, but as a tool to support, celebrate, and guide their growth at every stage of the learning journey.
