Schools select Level 0 when they are beginning their PYP journey and want their teachers to develop a strong foundation before moving into planning and implementation. These programs help build a common language, clear understanding of IB expectations, and confidence among teachers who may be new to inquiry, concepts, or international curriculum structures.
- Build clarity around the IB philosophy & PYP framework
- Reduce confusion around structures like TD themes, key concepts & ATL
- Prepare teachers for the shift from traditional teaching to inquiry-based learning
- Map existing curriculum to PYP expectations
- Get ready for candidacy by understanding standards, documentation & school requirements
- Create early alignment among teachers so the school can move forward smoothly
Level 0 is ideal for schools that want to start right—with a strong, confident foundation.
Schools pick Level 1 when they already understand PYP basics but need support to translate philosophy into classroom practice. Teachers at this stage often need help with planner writing, assessment, ATL integration, and designing meaningful learning experiences.
- Strengthen planner writing skills and align learning intentions with PYP elements
- Move teachers from “activities” to concept-driven, inquiry-based learning
- Build effective ATL planning and classroom routines
- Improve formative assessment practices and documentation
- Bring schoolwide consistency during the early years of authorization
- Develop confidence to run collaborative planning sessions independently
Level 1 is ideal for schools who want stability, clarity, and stronger day-to-day PYP implementation.
Schools choose Level 2 when they want to deepen the quality of their PYP practice, strengthen inquiry culture, and move from “doing PYP” to living PYP. These modules target refinement—strengthening agency, assessment, concept-based teaching, and documentation.
- Elevate unit planning through concept-based design and CBCI approaches
- Strengthen assessment systems with performance tasks, rubrics, and body of evidence
- Build strong thinking culture through advanced visible thinking routines
- Improve real transdisciplinary integration across subjects
Level 2 is ideal for schools striving for high-performing PYP classrooms and long-term sustainability.
