Abstract

The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is an integral component of the International Baccalaureate Programme. Initiated in 1997 for youth ages 3-12, the international curriculum focuses on the whole child, with emphasis on social, emotional, physical, cultural, and academic areas. PYP combines the best of research and practice through engaging and relevant learning experiences. This article presents findings from a survey of accredited PYP schools and discusses the applicability of the PYP to gifted education.
