Quarry Bay School follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP), authorised since May 2010. The PYP provides an inquiry-based framework designed for children from Year 1 to Year 6, focusing on the development of conceptual understanding, global awareness, and personal responsibility. Learning is organised through six transdisciplinary themes, integrating subjects such as English, mathematics, science, social studies, the arts, and physical education. English is the language of instruction, while Chinese is taught as an additional language from Year 1 onwards. The curriculum also includes personal, social, and emotional development to support student well-being. Assessment is continuous and aligned with IB expectations, emphasising progress within each area of learning.
