PYP uses continuous portfolio assessment instead of traditional exams — a collection of work samples, photos, and reflections reviewed annually each May-June.
Units of Inquiry are 4-6 week themes integrating all 13 subjects around a central idea. Typically 4-5 run per year, forming the heart of how PYP builds critical thinking.
Ongoing formative assessment (observations, work samples, reflections) is paired with an annual summative portfolio review each May-June, discussed at parent conferences
The portfolio is an ongoing collection of work samples, photos, and reflections, reviewed with parents each May-June. By Year 5, it documents the full five-year learning journey
A strong PYP foundation builds the inquiry mindset, independence, and critical thinking that transfer directly into MYP starting September 2031, with the portfolio as a starting reference.
Support builds from literacy and numeracy foundations in Reception through inquiry skills and portfolio quality each year, consolidating into MYP readiness by Year 5.
