Patterson Elementary engulfs students through inquiry based learning in an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) that is designed for students aged 3 to 12. It focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. The program is guided by six transdisciplinary themes of global significance, explored using knowledge and skills derived from six subjects areas, as well as transdisciplinary skills, with a powerful emphasis on inquiry-based learning in the classroom and across the school.  The PYP aims to develop internationally minded students who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
