Institutions offering IB PYP Early Years

Currently, 4 institutions offer IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) Early Years (IB PYP Early Years) under International Baccalaureate in Nepal with 2 of them offering in Kathmandu district.

The IB PYP Early Years Program focuses on the holistic development of children aged 3 to 6, nurturing their intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth to ensure a seamless transition into PYP 1. By offering engaging, play-based learning experiences aligned with the International Baccalaureate (IB) Early Years framework, the program encourages young learners to explore and inquire about the world around them. Within this environment, play is viewed as a vital educational tool that unlocks a child's curiosity, creativity, and self-confidence.

Instruction within the program is rooted in exploration and inquiry-driven discovery. These rich, play-based experiences are designed to strengthen critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and collaborative skills. By prioritizing student agency, giving each child a sense of voice, choice, and ownership, the curriculum builds a robust foundation for students to become expressive and self-directed learners. Additionally, the inclusion of mixed-age learning experiences helps cultivate essential social attributes such as empathy, communication, and cooperation.

A distinctive feature of the program is its integration of the Montessori approach, supported by its sister organization, the Nepal Montessori Training Centre. By blending Montessori principles with the IB PYP framework, the program provides a balanced educational experience characterized by freedom within a purposeful structure. This unique pedagogical fusion ensures that the youngest learners embark on their academic journey with both a sense of wonder and a disciplined foundation for lifelong learning.
