Download resourceChristine Orkisz Lang, an original co-author of the IB PYP, has developed the free PYP Roadmap Series to help educators move from understanding the programme to implementing it. The series includes travel guides, roadmaps, checklists, and a four-part online course on IB Exchange, organized around four phases of development. A free introductory webinar is scheduled for 13 May 2026, and Qridi Core is highlighted as a tool to reduce administrative complexity.
Qridi Core's seven-stage PYP Exhibition Cycle helps IB schools balance ATL skills, Learner Profile attributes, and inquiry while making student learning visible over time. Selected schools can currently access the full cycle free of charge in exchange for feedback.
The Qridi Core PYP Curriculum offers a developmentally sequenced and skills-aligned approach to implementing the IB Primary Years Programme. Designed for students aged 3 to 12, it supports schools in bringing the PYP to life in structured, intentional, and sustainable ways—without losing sight of its inquiry-driven and student-centered philosophy.
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) curriculum is built around the Programme of Inquiry (POI), a whole-school framework that organizes transdisciplinary learning through six global themes. The POI ensures teaching is broad, balanced, and connected, with each grade engaging in multiple units of inquiry that promote holistic learning. Schools must design, implement, and regularly review their POI to stay aligned with IB Standards and Practices, while tools like POI calendars and EdTech solutions such as Qridi Core help make the curriculum transparent and manageable. As a living framework, the POI evolves over time to remain relevant, well-articulated, and responsive to student needs.

The enhanced Primary Years Programme (PYP) emphasizes student agency, which is defined as voice, choice, and ownership. Rather than being passive recipients of knowledge, students actively participate in shaping their learning experiences. Encouraging agency fosters lifelong learning, increases engagement, builds confidence, nurtures a growth mindset, and prepares students for future academic and professional success.
Inquiry-based learning empowers students to take charge of their education, fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. By understanding inquiry-based learning theory, phases, methods, and advantages, educators can create engaging and effective learning environments that prepare students for lifelong learning.
Assessment in the Primary Years Programme (PYP) is a continuous and informative process that ensures meaningful evaluation and enhances student learning. The PYP assessment cycle incorporates formative, summative, self-, and peer assessments, using diverse methods such as observations, portfolios, rubrics, and performance-based tasks.
