IB Primary Years Programme

The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) nurtures and develops active learners for life.


The IB Primary Years Programme fosters lifelong learning through an inquiry-based trans-disciplinary curriculum framework that builds conceptual understanding where students are agents of their own learning. At GPS Brookes Kochi, currently, we offer the Primary Years Programme for Grades 1 to 5.


The subjects we offer are:

  1. Unit of Inquiry (6 Transdisciplinary Themes)
  2. English Inquiry
  3. Math Inquiry
  4. Additional Language 1 (AL1) – students get to choose between Malayalam/French/Hindi. AL1 focuses on their Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening skills.
  5. Additional Language 2 (AL2) – students get to choose a language from the remaining 2 languages after choosing their AL 1. AL 2 focuses only on Listening and Speaking skills.
  6. Visual Art Inquiry
  7. Drama Inquiry
  8. P.S.P.E Inquiry
