How de we express ourselves? How does the world work? How do we organise ourselves and how can we share the planet?
Despite the interdisciplinary focus of the PYP, the learning process revolves around six discipline areas: Languages; Social Studies; Mathematics; Art; Science and Technology; Personal, Social and Physical Education.
