ISA Liwan Primary School adopts the IB PYP as the framework and incorporates the essence of high-quality curriculum from different countries all around the world, including the Singapore mathematics and British national curriculum standards, to improve students' academic performance and to provide students from Grades 1 to 5 with a transdisciplinary learning experience that is significant, engaging, relevant and challenging. The rich and professional curriculum allows students to establish a real and meaningful connection with the world around them, and ultimately promotes the holistic development of students intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically.
The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) is an internationally recognized, inquiry-based curriculum that focuses on developing children into well-rounded inquirers, both inside and outside the classroom. IB PYP is transdisciplinary and holistic, aiming to further foster each child’s natural curiosity and love of learning, focusing on the overall development of growing children and building their own knowledge and understanding of the world around them.
ISA Liwan Primary School has the flexibility to adapt to most national or local curriculum requirements and to best prepare students for future studies in the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP).
IB PYP is a teaching and learning framework, consisting of “Six Transdisciplinary Themes” and integrating “Six Subject Groups”; allowing students to carry out research through the use of knowledge and skills acquired across the six subject areas, and revolving around the six transdisciplinary themes of global importance, thus emphasizing the integration of disciplines and thematic learning.

We promote learner agency and provide opportunities for students to question, explore, collaborate, construct their own understandings, and finally make connections and transfer learning to new contexts.
