INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE PROGRAMME
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) offers a continuum of international education. The programmes encourage both personal and academic achievement, challenging students to excel in their studies and in their personal development. In order to teach IB programmes, schools must be authorized. Sarah Smith Elementary became an authorized IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP) in July of 2006.
The PYP is an educational programme managed by
the IB for students ages 3-12. In the PYP, students are taught to understand that learning is about asking questions and looking for answers, which usually generates into more complex questions. Teachers work with students through a programme of guided inquiry, while helping them understand what their relationship and responsibility is towards what they are learning. Character-building also shares a prominent place alongside learning. Consequently, in lieu of the traditional character education words, the IB learner profiles /attitudes are integrated into the monthly classroom guidance lessons.
