Real opportunities for learning: The PYP transdisciplinary framework provides real opportunities for students to focus on key development skills, where play is the main driver for inquiry. It also involves social interaction, learning spaces, symbolic exploration, and expression, with the goal of developing physical, social, intellectual, aesthetic, and cultural skills. Action Cycle: A daily practice that encourages students to be more open and willing to take risks to promote changes in their lives, reflecting on attitudes and choices to become local and global citizens who contribute to a more empathetic, respectful, and balanced world.
