At ACS Doha we follow the world-renowned International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) for our Lower School curriculum, for Grades 1 to 5 (ages 6 to 11). The programme allows students to continue on the learning journey they commenced as part of the ACS Early Childhood programme or at a kindergarten elsewhere. Our Lower School programme focuses on enquiry-based learning within a child-centric environment that is open and accessible to all.
IB Primary Years Programme (IBPYP)
The IBPYP nurtures and develops students aged 3 to 11, creating caring, active individuals committed to a lifelong journey of learning. Through an inquiry-led, transdisciplinary framework, the IBPYP challenges students to think for themselves. We encourage them to explore who we are and how we express ourselves – to discover where we are in space and time, how the world works and how we can all share the planet.
IBPYP Studies are based on six subject areas:
- Languages
- Social studies
- Mathematics
- Arts
- Science
- Personal / Social / Physical education.
Students also work and play with specialists to explore language, culture, art, music and physical education.
