IB Primary Years Programme

THS is a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme. IB World Schools share a common philosophy--a commitment to a high quality, international education.

The IB PYP is implemented in grades K-5; however, THS's curriculum in all grades has been guided by IB standards since its founding.  

Transdisciplinary Approach to Learning

The IB PYP provides student-centered inquiry and instruction resulting in creativity and critical thinking.

Through the course of their educational experience at THS, PYP students acquire and strenghten attributes of a life-long learner: 

Inquirers Balanced
Principled Knowledgeable
Reflective Caring
Communicators Open-minded
Risk-Takers Thinkers

The IB PYP is structured to provide students with transdisciplinary learning - integrating and connecting all subjects to real world experiences thereby transforming the learner. Learning is engaging, relevant, significant, and challenging.
