Curriculum

The language of instruction is English. The LAAS curriculum uses the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) for students aged 3–12, covering Kindergarten through Grade 6. The PYP employs a transdisciplinary approach with six themes: Who we are; Where we are in time and space; How we express ourselves; How the world works; How we organize ourselves; and Sharing the planet. Learning is inquiry-based through units of inquiry across disciplines, and students develop the IB Learner Profile—ten attributes that guide an international mindset.
