Essential elements of the international baccalaureate programme of inquiry
The IB Primary Years Program provides a curriculum framework of 5 Essential Elements:
Knowledge- content in math, language, social studies, science and the arts. Key Concepts- important ideas that have universal significance regardless of time or place within and across disciplines. Concepts are presented in the forms of questions that drive the inquiry. Approaches to Learning- specific capabilities in thinking, social interactions, communication, self-management, and research Attitudes- dispositions, values, beliefs and feelings towards learning Action- Making changes to and in the world. Each of the IB's programmes is committed to the development of students according to the IB learner profile.These elements are reflected in the learners at The School at St. George Place--we have a commitment to the development of the whole child. |

The IB continuum of international education for 3-19 year olds is unique because of its academic and personal rigour. We challenge students to excel in their studies and in their personal growth. We aim to inspire a quest for learning throughout life that is marked by enthusiasm and empathy. The IB aspires to help schools develop wellrounded students with character: students who can respond to challenges with optimism and an open-mind; students confident in their own identities; students who make ethical decisions; students who join with others in celebrating our common humanity; students who are prepared to apply what they learn in real world, complex and unpredictable situations.
