What Makes the PYP Unique at SKT Riverside?
- Inquiry-Based Learning: Learning is driven by students’ natural curiosity. Our
classrooms are dynamic spaces where students ask meaningful questions, explore concepts deeply,
and reflect on their learning journeys.
- Concept-Driven Curriculum: The PYP focuses on big ideas that go across subject
boundaries. Through transdisciplinary themes, students learn to make connections between local
and global contexts.
- Student Agency:At SKT Riverside, students have voice, choice, and ownership.
They are actively involved in planning, goal-setting, and assessing their own learning.
- Whole-Child Development: We focus on academic excellence while nurturing
social-emotional well-being, international-mindedness, and lifelong learning habits.
- Action-Oriented Learning: We encourage students to take action based on what
they’ve learned — whether it’s helping their peers, initiating a community project, or spreading
awareness about global issue.
Key Components of the PYP
Transdisciplinary Themes:
Learning is framed around six engaging themes that cross subject areas and promote
global understanding.
- Who We Are
- Where We Are in Place and Time
- How We Express Ourselves
- How the World Works
- How We Organize Ourselves
- Sharing the Planet
The Learner Profile:
The IB Learner Profile is at the heart of all we do. We strive to develop students
who are:
- Inquirers, Knowledgeable, Thinkers, Communicators, Principled, Open-minded, Caring, Risk-takers,
Balanced, and Reflective.
Assessment for Learning:
Ongoing assessments are used to inform teaching and guide students in understanding
their progress. We emphasize growth, reflection, and goal setting over one-time test scores.
A Learning Environment Like No Other
Our Riverside Campus provides a safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment where learning is
personalized and meaningful. Classrooms are rich with student voice, collaborative inquiry, and
hands-on exploration.
Whether in the classroom, on the playground, or in the community, SKT learners are
constantly growing — not just academically, but as responsible, compassionate individuals prepared
for the future.
At SKT-Riverside
Our Programme of
Inquiry (POI) serves as the
backbone of our
Primary Years Programme (PYP),
thoughtfully guiding students through a rich and balanced learning journey. Designed by our
dedicated teaching team, the POI ensures that students from KG to Year 6 engage with meaningful
concepts across subjects through six transdisciplinary themes.
Each unit of inquiry is carefully planned to spark curiosity, build understanding, and connect
learning to the real world. The POI reflects our commitment to nurturing internationally minded
learners who are confident, compassionate, and actively involved in their own learning. At SKT, the
Programme of Inquiry helps students explore who they are, how the world works, and how they can make
a positive impact—both in our school and beyond.
