PRIMARY SCHOOL PROGRAM (GRADE 1 - 5)

The curriculum framework in Grades 1-5 is the IB Primary Years Program (PYP). It aims to develop young students as caring, active participants in a lifelong learning journey. The program is famous for its inquirybased and transdisciplinary approach. It challenges students to think for themselves and take
responsibility for their learning, as they explore local and global issues and opportunities in real-life contexts. Students acquire core subjects of English, Maths, and Science, Social Studies during their homeroom classes. Various special classes like the mother tongue, a second language, physical education, the arts, and technology are taught by specialist teachers in separate classes. All of the subjects are linked using large interdisciplinary units which are part of the school-wide Program of Inquiry – the hallmark of the PYP program.

To honor our host country and to fulfill the requirements of the international school accreditation in Latvia, all students at EIS learn about the language and culture of Latvia through the subject called
“Latvian Studies”. The course was developed by Exupery International School in accordance with state regulations and includes the study of Latvian culture, language, history, and geography. For more details about the PYP program visit the IB PYP Program Website. The full Program of Inquiry can be found here and the curriculum guides for the core subject areas are here.
