Primary School
Curriculum

A foundation for lifelong learning through curiosity and exploration.

Aspiration International Primary School (AIPS) is a Candidate School for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). The school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education that AIPS believes is important for our students.

This programme nurtures young students, helping them become confident, curious learners and compassionate, engaged participants in a lifelong journey of discovery and growth.

Building a Strong Foundation for Secondary Education

Our journey begins with the Early Years Programme, where children engage in play-based learning within a stimulating and joyful environment, building essential skills through exploration. As students progress into the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), their curiosity expands, and their understanding deepens through collaborative and inquiry-driven learning. This approach ensures a seamless transition into the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) and beyond.

Shaping Thinkers from the Start

PYP

The IB PYP Programme is a student-centered, inquiry-driven, transdisciplinary framework designed for students aged 3-12. It fosters conceptual understanding by emphasising active learning, curiosity, and exploration:

  • INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING | Encourages students to ask questions, investigate topics, and develop critical thinking skills.
  • TRANSDISCIPLINARY APPROACH | Integrates knowledge and skills from multiple subject areas, helping students make connections across disciplines.
  • CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING | Focuses on big ideas rather than just facts, ensuring deeper learning.
  • STUDENT-CENTERED | Empowers students to take ownership of their learning through choice, voice, and agency.

It equips students with essential academic and personal skills across six key subject areas:

  • Language 
  • Social Studies
  • Mathematics
  • Arts
  • Science
  • Physical, Social & Personal Education


Through this holistic learning process, students develop into competent, reflective, and creative thinkers, gaining the cognitive, emotional, and social tools needed for lifelong success in an ever-evolving world.
