The chosen curriculum framework in Morris is the International Baccalaureate Programme (IB PYP), which began implementation at Morris – Friends’ Primary Years in 2001. The PYP is the curriculum for all children from Kinder to Year 6. It focuses on the development of the whole child, offering a framework to meet the academic, cultural, physical, social and spiritual development of each person. At the heart of the PYP is a belief in process-oriented guided inquiry where students’ questions are valued. Skills are taught in the context of finding answers to those questions. The PYP is based on best practice understandings about education including constructivism (building from the known), student-centred learning, catering for different learning styles, strengths and needs, and providing ongoing assessment and feedback for students. These understandings are enriched by a focus on international understanding. In practical terms, teachers and students are guided by a series of basic questions as they design units for exploration and study: Who are we? Where are we in place and time? How do we express ourselves? How does the world work? How do we organise ourselves? How do we share the planet? This approach is intended to elicit ideas of global significance that affect all people, an approach that will help students see their place in the wider world. The IBPYP values and practices clearly sit well within broader ethos of The Friends’ School. To find out more about the IBPYP framework please follow the links on the Morris website.
