Primary Years Programme

Prospect School is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School for the Primary Years Program.

IB World Schools share a common philosophy: a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of learners by delivering challenging, high quality programs of international education that share a powerful vision.

Only schools authorized by the International Baccalaureate can offer any of its programs: the Primary Years Program (PYP), the Middle Years Program (MYP), the Diploma Program or the IB Career-related Certificate (BCC). Candidate status gives no guarantee the authorization will be granted.

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
