Our Curriculum - Primary Years Programme

Introduction to the PYP
At Podar International School, we follow the IB Primary Years Programme from Grade 1 to Grade 5.
The PYP is a curriculum framework based on the most current best practiced educational research from around the world.
The PYP prepares students for the intellectual challenges of further education and their future careers while focussing on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world at large.
The programme aims to develop students’ academic, social and emotional wellbeing. through a focus on international mindedness and strong personal values.



The PYP Curriculum Framework
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) offers a transdisciplinary, inquiry-based and student-centered education with responsible action at its core, enabling students to learn between, across and beyond traditional subject boundaries. The framework serves as the curriculum organizer and offers an in-depth guide to achieve authentic conceptual inquiry-based learning that is engaging, significant, challenging and relevant for PYP students.
Through the programme of inquiry and by reflecting on their learning, PYP students develop knowledge, conceptual understandings, skills and the attributes of the IB Learner profile.
The Learner profile is the core of the model and the whole IB Philosophy, It also makes reference to the Student-centered education.
The IB’s six approaches to teaching and five approaches to learning guide and focus educators and students in IB World Schools.
The approaches are centred on a cycle of inquiry, action and reflection—an interplay of asking, doing and thinking—that informs the daily activities of teachers and learners. (what is an IB education?, 2019)
`Agency and self-efficacy are fundamental to learning in the PYP. Throughout the programme, the learner is an agent for their own and others’ learning. They direct their learning with a strong sense of identity and self-belief, and in conjunction with others, build a sense of community and awareness for the opinions, values and needs of others.
Action, the core of student agency, is integral to the PYP learning process and to the programme’s overarching outcome of international mindedness. (ibo.org)
Transdisciplinary Themes:
- 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 six Transdisciplinary themes are worth exploring regardless of where PYP learners are in the world and the diverse and divergent communities to which they belong. Framing the programme of inquiry, they provide a starting point from which learners can engage with local and global issues and opportunities. Taken together, the transdisciplinary themes provide learners with authentic, relevant and transformative learning experiences that go beyond the boundaries of subjects because local and global issues transcend boundaries. (Learning and teaching, IBO, 2025)


The pillars of the PYP curriculum framework
The transdisciplinary model extends across all three pillars of the PYP curriculum framework—the learner, learning and teaching, and the learning community.
- The learner: describes the outcomes for individual students and the outcomes they seek for themselves (what is learning?)
https://ibo.org/programmes/primary-years-programme/curriculum/the-learner/ - Learning and teaching: articulates the distinctive features of learning and teaching (how best to support learners?)
https://ibo.org/programmes/primary-years-programme/curriculum/learning-and-teaching/ - The learning community: emphasizes the importance of the social outcomes of learning and the role that IB communities play in achieving these outcomes (who facilitates learning and teaching?)
https://ibo.org/programmes/primary-years-programme/curriculum/the-learning-community/

The Learner Profile
The attributes of the learner profile represent a broad range of human capacities and responsibilities that encompass intellectual, personal, emotional and social growth.
The development and demonstration of these attributes are foundational to students becoming internationally minded, active and caring community members who respect themselves, others and the world around them.
The learner profile supports students in developing international-mindedness and in taking action for positive change. Exercising their agency, students take ownership of their learning, express their ideas and opinions, and reflect on their development of the learner profile attributes.
The Learner Profile in action
The learner profile supports students in developing international-mindedness and in taking action for positive change.
Exercising their agency, students take ownership of their learning, express their ideas and opinions, and reflect on their development of the learner profile attributes.
Students have a range of opportunities to develop, demonstrate and reinforce attributes of the learner profile in the daily life of the learning community.
They become embedded across the learning environment and are visible in the following areas:

The learner profile is integrated throughout the school’s curriculum. Students engage with the attributes through transdisciplinary units of inquiry as well as subject-specific learning, where they explore conceptual understandings, build skills and take meaningful action.
Opportunities to apply and practice the learner profile attributes are present in diverse learning spaces such as the library, music room, and across everyday social contexts. This includes interactions during break and lunch times, sports, after-school activities, and field trips.
Events such as assemblies, drama productions, and sports days provide further occasions for students to showcase and deepen their understanding of the learner profile. These collective experiences help foster a shared sense of identity and community.
The development of the learner profile extends beyond the school. Through interactions with family members, friends, local businesses, sports clubs and community groups, students have the opportunity to embody the attributes in real-world contexts.
The learner profile shapes the culture of the school, evident in class agreements, playground expectations, and pastoral care approaches. It also serves as a common language in communications through newsletters, school websites, and visual displays.
Students regularly use the learner profile to reflect on their learning and to provide and receive feedback. The attributes are highlighted and celebrated in learning journals, reports, and peer interactions, supporting growth and constructive dialogue.
The learner profile offers a framework for critically exploring local and global challenges. Students learn to question and analyze various perspectives, communication styles, and social issues using the lens of the learner profile.

Approaches to Teaching
To foster this dynamic environment, our educators are guided by the IB’s six key pedagogical principles. Teaching at Podar International School is:
- Based on Inquiry: We believe students learn best by asking questions and exploring the answers.
- Focused on Conceptual Understanding: We move beyond memorization to help students grasp big ideas.
- Developed in Local and Global Contexts: Learning is connected to students’ lives and the wider world.
- Focused on Effective Teamwork and Collaboration: We teach students how to work together to achieve common goals.
- Designed to be Inclusive: Our teaching is differentiated to meet the needs of all learners.
- Informed by Assessment: We use a variety of assessments to provide feedback and support student growth.
Student agency is fundamental to this process. Learners at Podar direct their own learning with a strong sense of identity and self-belief. Action, the core of student agency, is integral to the PYP, empowering students to make a positive impact on the world.

Our Curriculum – IBDP
THE IB DIPLOMA PROGRAMME
The IB Diploma Programme is a comprehensive and challenging pre-university course that demands the best from both motivated students and teachers. This sophisticated two-year curriculum covers a wide range of academic subjects, and it is offered in 141 countries worldwide with 3326 schools to over 990,000 students taking the final exam every year. It is fast-growing and is expected to exceed 20 million by the end of 2020. The world’s leading universities welcome IB Diploma Programme graduates.
THE BENEFITS OF THE IB DIPLOMA PROGRAMME
The high academic standards of IB Diploma Programme is recognised world-over. Assessment is varied and takes place over two years, with final examinations in each subject. Students’ work is assessed by an international board of examiners, who are themselves rigorously trained and monitored by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO)
Universities recognise the outstanding qualities of IB Diploma Programme students. Typically diploma holders are ready to debate real-world issues from an international perspective and to provide leadership and support in the local and global community. They demonstrate a capacity for in-depth study while maintaining a broad view of the different subject areas. They can ask challenging questions but also know how to research a topic and express their opinion. They have a strong sense of their culture and identity, as well as the ability to communicate in two or more languages with people who have a different perspective of the world.
Podar International School offers a comprehensive two-year Diploma. With their Motto of Excellence in education and with 87 glorious years of association with various National and State Boards, it was a natural progression for Podar to associate with international academia.
Podar International School is located in the heart of the city of Mumbai, making daily commuting easy for students. Podar’s strong faith in Indian culture and ethos has already attracted many NRIs who want to inculcate Indian values in their children.
Even as India carves a niche for herself in the world’s economic arena, it has become the need of the hour that our children learn the true spirit of International mindedness best expressed in the words of the Dalai Lama: “More calm, more peace, more compassion, more international feeling is very good for our health”.
HOW DOES THE SCHOOL SUPPORT AND DEVELOP THE IB LEARNER PROFILE?
The IBO has prescribed a list of qualities that are inculcated in students and teachers if they engage themselves critically with the learner profile and the values embedded in it rather than accept them unconditionally. The whole school community supports and nurtures the qualities. Small instances in the day to day teaching-learning experience speak a lot for themselves. Nevertheless, a list of some of the practices at our school with examples is given below.

BROAD SPECTRUM OF SUBJECTS
IB Diploma Programme students choose to study six subjects – one from each of the subject areas highlighted in the diagram below.
IBDP CURRICULUM – SIX SUBJECTS
The subjects we offer are :
GROUP 1:- STUDIES IN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
It is a literature course studied in the ‘first language’ of the student or the language in which the student is most competent. It will normally be the language of the environment to which the student has been exposed from an early age. (Related terms are ‘mother tongue’, ‘native language’, and ‘home language’.)
In studying group 1 courses, students can develop:
- a personal appreciation of language and literature
- skills in literary criticism.
- an understanding of the formal, stylistic and aesthetic qualities of texts.
- strong powers of expression, both written and oral.
- an appreciation of cultural differences in perspective.
The range of texts studied in language A courses is broad, and students grow to appreciate a language’s complexity, wealth and subtleties in a variety of contexts. A specific aim is to engender a lifelong interest in literature and a love for the elegance and richness of human expression.
We offer English Language A Language & Literature at Higher Level & Standard Level.
GROUP 2:- LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
The main emphasis of the modern language courses is on the acquisition and use of language in a range of contexts and for different purposes while, at the same time, promoting an understanding of another culture through the study of its language.
Language B: HINDI (HL/SL)/ Language B FRENCH (SL)
Language B courses are intended for students who have had some previous experience of learning the language. They may be studied at either higher level or standard level.
The course emphasises the acquisition and development of the language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
The course, intended for students with several years’ prior knowledge of the language, emphasises the acquisition and development of the language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. OR
FRENCH ab initio (SL) SPANISH ab initio (SL)
Ab Initio courses are for beginners (that is, students who have little or no previous experience of learning the language they have chosen). These courses are only available at standard level.
GROUP 3 :- INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETIES
- Business & Management (HL\SL)
- Economics (HL/SL)
- History (HL\SL)
- Psychology (HL/SL)
Business and management is a rigorous and dynamic discipline that examines business decision-making processes and how these decisions impact and are affected by internal and external environments. The business and management course aims to help students understand the implications of business activity in a global market. It is designed to give students an international perspective of business and to promote their appreciation of cultural diversity through the study of topics like international marketing, human resource management, growth and business strategy.
The IB Diploma Programme economics course emphasises the economic theories of microeconomics, which deal with economic variables affecting individuals, firms and markets, and the economic theories of macroeconomics, which deal with economic variables affecting countries, governments and societies.
The historical study involves both the selection and interpretation of data and critical evaluation of it. Students of history should appreciate the relative nature of historical knowledge and understanding, as each generation reflects its world and preoccupations and as more evidence emerges.
The Psychology course is the systematic study of behaviour and mental processes. Since the psychology course examines the interaction of biological, cognitive and sociocultural influences on human behaviour, it is well placed in group 3, individuals and societies. Students undertaking the course can expect to develop an understanding of how psychological knowledge is generated, developed and applied. It will allow them to have a greater understanding of themselves and appreciate the diversity of human behaviour.
GROUP 4:- SCIENCES
- Biology (HL/SL)
- Chemistry (HL/SL)
- Physics (HL/SL)
- Environmental Systems & Societies (SL)
- Computer Science (HL/SL)
All of these subjects may be studied at Higher Level or Standard Level, except ESS which is offered only at Standard Level.
Students explore the concepts, theories, models and techniques that underpin each subject area and through these develop their understanding of the scientific method.
A compulsory project encourages students to appreciate the environmental, social and ethical implications of science. This exercise is collaborative and interdisciplinary and provides an opportunity for students to explore scientific solutions to global questions.
Computer science aims to develop an understanding of:
- the range and organisation of computer systems,
- the use of computers in a variety of disciplines, applications and contexts.
GROUP 5:- MATHEMATICS
Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches (HL & SL), Mathematics: Applications & Interpretations (HL & SL)
These four courses serve to accommodate the range of needs, interests and abilities of students, and to fulfil the requirements of various university and career aspirations.
Mathematics: analysis and approaches are for students who enjoy developing their mathematics to become fluent in the construction of mathematical arguments and develop strong skills in mathematical thinking. They will also be fascinated by exploring real and abstract applications of these ideas, with and without technology. Students who take Mathematics: analysis and approaches will be those who enjoy the thrill of mathematical problem solving and generalisation.
Mathematics: analysis and approaches: Distinction between SL and HL
Students who choose Mathematics: analysis and approaches at SL or HL should be comfortable in the manipulation of algebraic expressions and enjoy the recognition of patterns and understand the mathematical generalisation of these patterns. Students who wish to take Mathematics: analysis and approaches at a higher level will have strong algebraic skills and the ability to understand the simple proof. They will be students who enjoy spending time with problems and get pleasure and satisfaction from solving challenging problems.
Mathematics: applications and interpretation are for students who are interested in developing their mathematics for describing our world and solving practical problems. They will also be interested in harnessing the power of technology alongside exploring mathematical models. Students who take Mathematics: applications and interpretation will be those who enjoy mathematics best when seen in a practical context.
Mathematics: applications and interpretation: Distinction between SL and HL
Students who choose Mathematics: applications and understanding at SL or HL should enjoy seeing mathematics used in real-world contexts and to solve real-world problems. Students who wish to take Mathematics: applications and interpretation at a higher level will have excellent algebraic skills and experience of solving real-world problems. They will be students who get pleasure and satisfaction when exploring challenging issues and who are comfortable to undertake this exploration using technology.
GROUP 6:- THE ARTS
The subjects in group 6 allow a high degree of adaptability to different cultural contexts. The emphasis is on creativity in the context of disciplined, practical research into the related genres.
Besides, each subject is designed to foster critical, reflective and informed practise, help students understand the dynamic and changing nature of the arts, explore the diversity of skills across time, place and cultures, and express themselves with confidence and competence.
PIS offers Visual Arts. However, students are not necessarily required to select a subject from Group 6 but may choose Visual Art or a second subject from Groups 3 or 4
The Two Levels (HL & SL)
Most IB subjects are available in two different levels – Higher and Standard Levels. Diploma students take three of their subjects at Higher Level and the other three at Standard Level. Higher Level subjects require a study of the two years, with a minimum of 240 hours teaching time. Standard Level subjects require a minimum teaching time of 150 hours.
CAS, Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge
The IBO’s goal of educating the whole person and thereby developing a three-fold concurrency of learning is the root of the three special components of CAS, Theory of Knowledge and Extended Essay. Fostering more caring and socially responsible attitudes comes alive in an immediate way when students reach beyond themselves and their books. CAS (Creativity Action Service) does not merely trigger an emotional impulse but a clear demonstration of attitudes and values. At Podar, students initiate CAS activities ranging from Habitat for Humanity builds, teaching students from government-aided schools, organising competitions for the physically and mentally challenged students with assistance from NGOs and visits to old-age homes. They participate in community activities like the World Earth Day and develop empathy and get sensitised with real-life experiential learning.
The Extended Essay of some 4000 words offers the opportunity to investigate a topic of particular interest and acquaints students with the independent research and writing skills expected at university. The Extended Essay is defined as an in-depth study of a limited topic within a subject. Its purpose is to provide candidates with an opportunity to engage in independent research. Emphasis is placed on the process of engaging in personal research, on the communication of ideas and information in a logical and coherent manner, and on the overall presentation of the Extended Essay.
At Podar, a personalised Extended Essay Handbook is given to the student in which he can note down his appointments with his guide and the points discussed. He also notes down the agenda of his next meeting with the supervisor. He becomes more responsible for his learning in this way. The extended essays vary from war paintings in the 20th century in Visual Art, to price elasticity of demand, market structures to impact of macro-economic variables on businesses and households in Economics, to determination and comparison of Vitamin C content in fresh juice and tetra packed juices in Chemistry to the Cuban Missile Crisis in History.
To develop an awareness of how knowledge is constructed, critically examined, evaluated and renewed by communities and individuals, IBO’s Theory of Knowledge component transcends and unifies various academic areas and cultural perspectives. The 1600 word essay and oral presentation is a celebration of all that the student assimilates and is a life-long learning of how he looks at learning itself. At Podar, this lecture is marked by animated discussions, movie and documentary viewing and further debates. Knowledge questions extracted from real life situations in newspaper articles and mock assessments of other published essays are part of the drill that students are put through to be able to compose an original piece of work.
