Curriculum
The International Baccalaureate – The PYP offers an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary curriculum framework that builds conceptual understanding. It is a student-centered approach to education for children aged 3-12. Nassa (Nasional Satu) School has adopted this program because its focus is to develop children who are active, caring about their surroundings, and instilling a love for learning. Students are taught to actively participate in the teaching and learning process.
The PYP framework consists of five essentials: knowledge, conceptual understandings, skills, the attributes of the IB Learner profile, and Action. All these essentials are taught to students through active learning participation and using relevant topics taught in a transdisciplinary manner across six areas of knowledge: Language, Social Studies, Mathematics, Arts, Science, and Personal, Social, and Physical Education.

CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK
The framework of PYP curriculum emphasizes the central principle of agency, which underpins the three pillars of school life:
- The learner:describes the outcomes for individual students and the outcomes they seek for themselves (what is learning?)
- Learning and teaching:articulates the distinctive features of learning and teaching (how best to support learners?)
- The learning community:emphasizes the importance of the social outcomes of learning and the role that IB communities play in achieving these outcomes (who facilitates learning and teaching?)
The framework serves as a curriculum organizer and provides a step-by-step approach to achieving authentic conceptual inquiry-based learning for PYP students that is engaging, meaningful, challenging, and relevant. The framework necessity of nurturing an individual’s self-efficacy so students that have a high sense of self-efficacy to be engaged in their own learning and take action in their classroom.

HOW THE PYP WORKS
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is a transdisciplinary curriculum framework that offers authentic learning experiences. The PYP encourages students to learn to appreciate knowledge, conceptual understandings, skills and personal attributes as a connected whole.
THE WRITTEN CURRICULUM
We collaboratively develop a Programme of Inquiry (PoI) to reflect the unique aspects of our school’s community that is organized and framed by six transdisciplinary themes:
These transdisciplinary themes together provide our students with authentic learning experiences that are not confined to the boundaries of traditional subjects. Although subjects play an important role in learning

THE TAUGHT CURRICULUM
Inquiry learning is the core methodology used in PYP schools. The taught curriculum considers what is significant, relevant and engaging for the students. In the PYP it is believed that students learn best when they are actively engaged in their own learning by investigating issues after formulating their own questions and then proceeding with research, experimentation, observation and analysis that will help them to find solutions. This does not mean that the skills of literacy and numeracy are not considered, as these are required to support ongoing inquiry, but these skills are developed within the context of the units of inquiry.
THE ASSESSED CURRICULUM
Assessment is an important part of our student’s development. It is embedded in each unit of inquiry to inform learning and teaching and provide opportunities for students to reflect on what they know, understand, and can do. The assessment is ongoing. The progress is reported to parents through:
3 Way Conference. In the first semester where students, parents and teachers sit together to plan individual goals and strategies for each child for the forthcoming year.
Written Report Card; at the end of each semester.
- Parents Teacher Conference; designed to give the parents information about the student’s progress development and needs after written report sent home.
- Student Led Conference;during the second semester where students share their learning and experiences with parents in the authentic setting of the classrooms and specialist areas.
- Portfolio Home Conference;at the end of each semester, where students reflect on their progress through work samples in the student portfolio.
