Primary Years

Committed to holistic development

Rooted in our vision, MRIS IB is deeply committed to holistic development of our students and aspires to empower the learners to become ethically responsible global agents of change.

Our offering of the Primary Years Programme(PYP) from EY1-PYP 5 is a testament to alignment of our School’s Vision with International Baccalaureate(IB) mission and the school’s commitment.

The PYP at MRIS IB aims to cultivate lifelong learners who help to create a more peaceful world
through
Intercultural understanding and respect nurturing International mindedness.

We prioritize inclusion and social-emotional wellbeing ensuring that all the learners at MRIS IB
feel valued and
supported and they build resilience and empathy at all times, promoting a sense of belonging and
continued
respect for multiple perspectives.

Inquiry based Learning as an educational approach promotes curiosity, critical and creative thinking
and
encourages students to explore, engage and ask relevant questions. Approaches to Learning (The ATL
Skills of
Research, Thinking, Communication, Social and Self-Management) equip students to take their
inquiries forward,
explore about and navigate through the complexities of the world.

This is taken forward through the six transdisciplinary themes that encourage students to make
connections across the subject boundaries, fostering deeper understanding of the concepts.

These Transdisciplinary themes are:

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

By engaging with these units, students learn to explore knowledge across the subjects while enhancing their conceptual understanding, encouraging them to make real-world connections, become problem solvers and take appropriate actions.
