The PYP framework includes seven key concepts that shape how and what children learn at our Elementary School in Panama City.
Our PYP curriculum is arranged and taught through large, cross-curricular units of study known as “Units of Inquiry.” Throughout Elementary School, these Units of Inquiry are arranged under six themes that are explored across the different subject areas. Our program offers a balance between learning about the different subject areas and learning beyond them.

These themes are explored across subjects that follow a scope and order; they also place importance on how we create knowledge. The underlying conceptual understandings and learning outcomes provide structure and guidance throughout each phase in the learning continuum.
The aim of all three IB programs is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world. MET learners accomplish this by demonstrating the IB Learner Profile, which includes 10 attributes shared among and valued by world schools, encouraging the growth of young people who are responsible members of local, national, and global communities. Learn more about the profile and benefits of the IB to our school community.
